This guide helps illustrate and explore the following points: • We all live in and depend on watersheds. • Michigan’s geology, climate and land use influence the flow of water through our watershed and rivers. • Our actions on land impact the health of our groundwater, rivers and lakes. Note: All bolded words are in the glossary on page 13. An Abundance of Water All life depends on water, but clean water is about more than just survival – exceptional lakes and streams are part of what makes Michigan special. No point in Michigan is more than six miles from an inland lake or stream, or more than 85 miles from one of the Great Lakes. Michigan’s abundant freshwater supports a vibrant recreation and tourism industry, supplies clean Figure 1.

Contemplate a River Before delving into the Michigan Watersheds Map, Teaching about Watersheds think about familiar rivers and lakes. The Michigan Watersheds Map illustrates that nearly • Where does the water in a lake come from? all creeks and rivers in Michigan eventually flow into • Where does a river begin? Where does it end? the Great Lakes. We encourage teachers to foster • What determines which direction a river flows? student curiosity and questioning as they explore the map.
