Abstract

As part of local wellhead protection area programs, areas
contributing water to production wells need to be periodically
updated because groundwater-flow paths depend in part on
the stresses to the groundwater-flow system. A steady-state
groundwater-flow model that was constructed in 2009 was
updated to reflect recent (2017) pumping conditions in the
Lansing and East Lansing area in the Tri-County region, Michigan.
For this current (2017) study, withdrawals from selected
production wells were updated, and the existing model calibration
under the new pumping conditions was checked. Results
of flow simulations indicate that 10-year time-of-travel areas
cover approximately 25 square miles and 40-year time-oftravel
areas cover approximately 51 square miles.
