Water defines Milwaukee, whether it’s vast Lake Michigan to your east, the rivers and tributaries that feed it, landscaping features designed to absorb rain and runoff, or the underground pipes and chambers that manage storm and waste water. Fund for Lake Michigan invites you to use the Virtual Doors Open water passport to explore the relationship between Milwaukee’s water and the city’s industrial, commercial, civic, and residential development.
The Doors Open Water Passport and Bingo Card were made possible with support from the Fund for Lake Michigan. Special thanks to Milwaukee Community Map for providing the mapping on this year's Water Passport. Learn more about Milwaukee Community Map.
Featured Water Passport locations can be found on the watershed map below, or open in a new window for ease of viewing. The area of land that drains to a body of water is called a watershed. Milwaukee's three rivers are the Milwaukee, the Menomonee, and the Kinnickinnic, each has its own watershed! Learn more about watersheds.
WaterMarks
WaterMarks is an initiative to develop an inclusive and urban-scaled vision for the city of Milwaukee, to help people better understand their relationships to the water systems and infrastructure that supports their lives. WaterMarks is multi-layered framework to engage residents in their communities and throughout the city.
Each WATERMARKER features an illuminated blue letter chosen by local input. These markers will pulse to inform residents when heavy rain is expected and connect to local digital water exhibits.
Play the WaterMarker game and win a poster (see poster image below)!
