Assessing Detroit River Nutrient Loads to Lake Erie

Assessing Detroit River Nutrient Loads to Lake Erie

This fact sheet describes a new collaborative research project facilitated by the U-M Water Center. This study will model the nutrient dynamics within the watersheds that drain into the St. Clair and Detroit rivers. The planned modeling approach is designed to characterize Detroit River nutrient loads to Lake Erie and then compare the efficacy of different management options. A project advisory group has been assembled to provide feedback on the policy context, planned research approach, and potential information products. For more information, see project web page.
