Groundwater Mapping Project Brochure

The Michigan Groundwater Inventory and Mapping Project is a project to aid in understanding and evaluating the groundwater resources in Michigan and fulfills the mandates of Michigan Public Act 148 of 2003. The act required the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to create a “groundwater inventory and map” that includes eight specific map components, a general requirement for a groundwater inventory and a directive to make the map and inventory available to the public. DEQ established a collaborative research team involving groundwater and mapping experts from the U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Michigan State University (MSU). The project team designed an interactive web site to make the mandated products available to the public.
