Study Partners City of Kalamazoo City of Portage Kalamazoo County Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (Upjohn-Pharmacia) U.S. Geological Survey

Objective: Develop a model of the region that can be used to: Evaluate the effects of natural (climate) stresses Evaluate the effects of human activity Predict effects of development options Provide insight into appropriate management strategies

How does this study fit into the “big picture” in Kalamazoo? Supplement Water Resources Management Program Wellhead Protection Program Stormwater Management Program Wellfield/Source Development Program Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Mandate Develop Watershed Management Plan for Kalamazoo River Watershed

Land use change

Approach: Field data collection including Continuous streamflow Miscellaneous streamflow Lake levels Ground water levels Ground-water/surface water interaction using piezometers and seepage meters Regional ground –water model

Project timeline and cost: Started: June 2000 Planned completion: June 2003 Total cost: $290,000

Progress at end of year 1

Data Collection Sites Total of 185 sites: 73 surface-water 111 ground water 16 lakes

Seepage meters Instrumented wells 2500 gpm
