The state of Michigan received high amounts of rainfall through the first half of 2019, causing flooding and historical water levels. The reasons why our lakes and rivers are higher than normal comes from a net gain in water between rainfall and evaporation.
University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability associate professor Drew Gronewold explains more about why the state's water levels are so high as well as the many challenges that go with it. Gronewold also discusses the research and solutions that the University of Michigan is doing, as well as the work from the other URC (Michigan State University, Wayne State University) universities are doing to keep Michigan moving forwards.
