The USGS, in cooperation with the Tri-County Regional Planning Commission, developed a ground-water flow model to describe the regional response of the Saginaw aquifer to public-supply withdrawals in the Lansing Metropolitan area. On-going work to update and refine this model provides communities with a tool that can be used to make better water management decisions. For example, determination of contributing areas to existing or proposed public-supply wells allows protection of drinking water quality for area residents.
