U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey Jim Nicholas, Center Director USGS Michigan Water Science Center U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey Great Lakes Basin Pilot National Assessment of Water Availability and Use

National Emphasis—Regional Focus Develop methods applicable to national program Respond to Great Lakes issues—Compact

Water Availability ____________ Water Quality Limitations Ecosystem Requirements Storage Flows Use

Regional Recharge

Groundwater Divides Watershed divide Groundwater divide

Water Use Trends Water Use Population Data not available by Watershed

Monthly variability in Ohio water use

Groundwater equals another Great Lake: 14,000 billion cubic feet Annual flow out of GL is 1 percent of water in storage Water use is 65,000 cfs Consumptive use is 3000 cfs

Availability includes Ecosystem Needs
