Model Refinement and Simulation of Groundwater Flow in Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham Counties, Michigan Model Refinement and Simulation of Groundwater Flow in Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham Counties, Michigan
A groundwater-flow model that was constructed in 1996 of the Saginaw aquifer was refined to better represent the regional hydrologic system in the Tri-County region, which consists of Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham Counties, Michigan. With increasing demand for groundwater, the need to manage withdrawals from the Saginaw aquifer has become more important, and the 1996 model could not...

Water use for irrigation in Michigan, 2001 Water use for irrigation in Michigan, 2001
Each year, water-use data for Michigan are compiled or estimated by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ), working in cooperation with the U. S. Geological Survey (USGS). The resulting information provides a category-by-category profile of over 4,200 facilities throughout the State. The data are reported in the Michigan Water Use Reporting Program, which provides needed

Simulation of ground-water flow in the Vevay Township area, Ingham County, Michigan Simulation of ground-water flow in the Vevay Township area, Ingham County, Michigan
Ground water is the primary source of water for domestic, public-supply, and industrial use within the Tri-County region that includes Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham Counties in Michigan. Because of the importance of this ground-water resource, numerous communities, including the city of Mason in Ingham County, have begun local Wellhead Protection Programs. In these programs, communities...

Simulation of the ground-water-flow system in the Kalamazoo County area, Michigan Simulation of the ground-water-flow system in the Kalamazoo County area, Michigan
A ground-water-flow model was developed to investigate the ground-water resources of Kalamazoo County. Ground water is widely used as a source of water for drinking and industry in Kalamazoo County and the surrounding area. Additionally, lakes and streams are valued for their recreational and aesthetic uses. Stresses on the ground-water system, both natural and human-induced, have raised...

Potential effects of climate change on ground water in Lansing, Michigan Potential effects of climate change on ground water in Lansing, Michigan
Computer simulations involving general circulation models, a hydrologic modeling system, and a ground water flow model indicate potential impacts of selected climate change projections on ground water levels in the Lansing, Michigan, area. General circulation models developed by the Canadian Climate Centre and the Hadley Centre generated meteorology estimates for 1961 through 1990 (as a...

Evaluation of potential impacts on Great Lakes water resources based on climate scenarios of two GCMs Evaluation of potential impacts on Great Lakes water resources based on climate scenarios of two GCMs
The results of general circulation model predictions of the effects of climate change from the Canadian Centre for Climate Modeling and Analysis (model CGCM1) and the United Kingdom Meteorological Office's Hadley Centre (model HadCM2) have been used to derive potential impacts on the water resources of the Great Lakes basin. These impacts can influence the levels of the Great Lakes and...
