AW in the MidWest
The Midwest is not particularly well known for its whitewater; however, there are hundreds of gems scattered around the region and every state boasts at least one whitewater prize.
AW Secures Flow Information for Fox River, WI
posted December 6, 2008
by Thomas O'Keefe
At the request of American Whitewater and with some help from FERC, Kaukauna Utilities now publishes information on instream flows in the reach of the Fox River bypassed by their hydroelectric project on the Fox River. This should allow us to begin an evaluation of impacts of a proposal to expand capacity of the project and divert additional water from the river.

Midwest Hydro Successes

by Thomas O'Keefe & Angie Tornes
Working in close partnership with AW since the first flow study on the Pine River in 1991, the
Rivers and Trails Program has assisted us in obtaining significant benefits for whitewater
recreation through the FERC licensing process. Several projects in the midwest have benefitted from
this productive partnership.
