Since its creation in 1907, the Wisconsin Valley Improvement Company (WVIC) has been a pioneer in natural resource management. Privately owned and financed, it is the publicly chartered and regulated steward of one of the state’s greatest resources, the Wisconsin River. Today, WVIC operates the Wisconsin River Headwaters Reservoir System to maintain a uniform flow as practicable in the Wisconsin River and a reasonable balance among the benefits the water resource provides, including water conservation, flood control, low flow augmentation, hydroelectric generation, water quality, wildlife, and recreation.
