the presence of the Great Lakes, Michigan has a story unlike any others. One very important part of Michigan’s story is how water has shaped the land making up the state. Seeing as the Great Lakes surround Michigan, it is obvious that the hydrologic system plays a great role in the water supply and the ecosystem of the Great Lakes. The hydrologic cycle includes evaporation, condensation, precipitation, groundwater, transpiration and runoff, all of which keep the Great Lakes functioning year after year

bounded by five Great Lakes. The Great Lakes are Lake Huron, Lake Erie, Lake Michigan , Lake Superior and Lake Saint Clair. The state got its name from Lake Michigan. The state of Michigan actually consists of two peninsulas the Upper Peninsula and the Lower Peninsula. The state has thousands of smaller lakes as well. Hence it is not surprising that Michigan has the longest freshwater shoreline in the whole world and one is never more than 85 miles from the water of the open Great Lakes and never more than

One The Great Lakes Watershed at a Glance: Lake Michigan and Lake Huron The Great Lakes of the United States of America is known worldwide for its vast collection of fresh water. Nestled in with the Midwestern area of the country, one will find the Great Lakes Watershed. While commonly known as the five Great Lakes of (Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, Lake Superior, and Lake Ontario), together the lakes can be referred to as the Laurentian Great Lakes. While in many ways the lakes are observed

short, us Michigan natives have grown up surrounded by water. Michigan has about 58,000 sq. miles of land and 38,000 miles of water. The majority of the water that makes up Michigan is formed from the Great Lakes: No point in Michigan is more than 6 miles away from one of the Great Lakes. It is clear that water is a big part of the composition of this state. Since water is such a big part of Michigan, I find myself very curious about what it is and what it does. The first thing you need to

Shoreline Assessment and Lake Management Lakes face several problems, however, some of which stand out include Eutrophication as well as Shoreline development, which happens in consequence to eroision. Both of these processes are constantly at work, these problems are created by either natural forces or even by humans. Eutrophication is the addition of minerals into lake water, these minerals include Nitrogen, as well as Phosphorous. It is said that warmth and light both affect the overall process

Living around the Great Lakes like we do in Michigan brings a lot of advantages. We have a great amount of water, unlike much of the United States. Water has shaped Michigan to its shape over the past thousands of years. The total area of Michigan is 96,716 miles squared. The total surface of the Great Lakes is 94,250 miles squared. Michigan is surrounded by 4 of the 5 Great Lakes like shown in figure 1. The Great Lakes include Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, and Lake Erie. Water has shaped

Industries (CJI) The first issue presented for CJ Industries was its contract with Great Lakes. Though CJI had sufficient excess capacity to ramp up production on the parts to be supplied in the Great Lakes’ contract, they were not sure about the ability or willingness of Heavey Pumps to increase their production of the bilge pumps. The problem is that CJ Industries had signed the contract with Great Lakes prior to any discussions about ramping up production with Heavey Pumps. The next issue

summer and you are dying to get outside and do something fun to relax. First things first, you must pack the essentials. Food (probably more than you need), a bathing suit and of course, a fishing pole. Now, you are ready for a trip to your favorite lake. After a few hours of driving, you finally reach your destination and can’t wait to get your boat out on the water, but guess what? Upon inspection from the local DWS officer, you are sent away due to the presence of Quagga mussels on your watercraft

Water: How it shapes the Land Michigan is well-known for the amazing Great Lakes that create its breath taking shoreline. The lakes contain about 23,000 km3 of water, covering a total area of 244,000 km2. The Great Lakes are a series of interconnecting fresh water lakes that hold 18 percent of the world’s fresh water supply, and 90 percent of the United States fresh water supply. The Great Lakes are made up by Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie and Ontario. Superior, right off the coast of Marquette
