Residential wells in several areas of Saginaw County, in Michigan's east-central Lower Peninsula, went dry last summer shortly after irrigation of crop lands commenced. In cooperation with Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, USGS conducted a 13-month study to determine how much irrigation pumpage was lowering ground water levels.
