Out of Water | Episode 1006/Segment 2
A groundwater shortage might be the last thing you’d expect to face on the shores of the Great Lakes, but that’s just what’s happened in a fast-growing west Michigan community. The problem? Wells for the growing number of homes and businesses had been drilled into a deep aquifer—the Marshall Formation—which can’t recharge fast enough to keep up with new demand for drinking water. Ep 1006/Seg 2
