Abstract
Water levels, locations, depths, and aquifers tapped are given for 112
observation wells. Tabulated data include a listing of ground water reports
in Michigan, extremes of water levels for calendar year 1988 and for the
period of record, pumpage of most major ground-water users in the State, and
water-quality data from selected wells. The two largest municipal users of
ground water, were the cities of Lansing and Kalamazoo. In 1988, Lansing
pumped 7.8 billion gallons from the Saginaw Formation and glacial deposits
and Kalamazoo pumped 7.4 billion gallons from glacial deposits only.
Description
This report provides records of water levels and related data collected
during 1988 for the principal aquifers of Michigan. Data on yield of wells,
pumpage, quality of water, and hydrographs of ground-water levels for the past
5 years are shown in the text. Yearly hydrographs are included to illustrate
seasonal changes in water levels. Records of water levels in observation
wells, records of pumpage by most major ground-water users, and water-quality
data from selected wells sampled during 1988 are given in tables 2, 3, and 4.
Distribution of observation wells is shown in figure 1. Location of wells
sampled for water-quality data and years sampled are shown in figure 2.
