“…A report by Holtschlag and others (1996) documents the development of the regional groundwater-flow model and the determination of contributing areas for most production wells in the TriCounty region. Luukkonen (2009) describes the refinement of the original 1996 model, optimization simulations to evaluate alternative groundwater-pumping scenarios under selected management constraints, and a preliminary characterization of groundwater geochemistry.…”

Additional analyses and collection of other data would be required to more conclusively identify the source and to determine the potential vulnerability of other wells because each BWL well may have a somewhat unique set of characteristics that governs its response to pumping. Therefore, it is possible that a relevant explanatory variable was not included in this analysis. The current patterns of geochemistry, and the relation between these patterns and volume of pumpage for the BWL wells, indicates other wells may be susceptible to OWCs in the future.

A groundwater-flow model developed in 1996 (Holtschlag and others, 1996) was refined in 2009 (Luukkonen, 2009) in cooperation with the Tri-County Regional Planning Commission and local communities in order to better represent the groundwater flow system in the Tri-County region. Participating communities included Alaiedon Township, Bath Township, Delhi Township, Delta Township, city of East Lansing, city of Eaton Rapids, city of Lansing, city of Williamston, Eaton Rapids Township, Lansing Township, Michigan State University, Meridian Township, Oneida Township, Vermontville Township, Village of Dimondale, Watertown Township, Williamstown Township, and Windsor Township.…”

Delineation of Contributing Areas to Selected Wells in Ingham County, MichiganBy Carol L. Luukkonen AbstractA groundwater-flow model that was constructed in 2009 was updated to reflect recent (2011-12) pumping conditions in the Tri-County region, which consists of Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham Counties, Michigan. As part of local wellhead protection area programs, areas contributing water to local production wells must be periodically updated, because groundwaterflow paths depend in part on the stresses, such as groundwater withdrawals, to the groundwater-flow system. For this current (2013) study, withdrawals from selected city of Lansing production wells were updated, and simulated heads and flows under the new pumping conditions compared favorably to previously measured values. Results of flow simulations indicate that 10-year time-of-travel contributing areas cover approximately 19.4 square miles, and 40-year time-of-travel contributing areas cover approximately 39 square miles.
