Simulated
Direct Groundwater Discharge (cfs) to the Great Lakes from the Glacial
Aquifer of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan per Kilometer of Shoreline
Simulated groundwater discharge (cfs) to the Great Lakes per kilometer
of Lower Peninsula shoreline of Michigan.
Simulated discharge calculated from the steady state RASA groundwater flow
model.
Simulated discharge tagged to basemap from U.S. Geological Survey 1:500,000
