Title: 2004 Agricultural Water Use Reporting for Michigan

Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data

Description:

Abstract:

This data set represents water use reported to the Michigan Department of Agriculture by agricultural producers in the state that met water pumping capacity thresholds during the 2004 calendar year. Water use is reported in gallons of water used, and is aggregated by political township and county in Michigan. This is attribute data that can be associated with political township spatial data files for mapping purposes.

Purpose:

The agricultural water use reporting data fulfills the Michigan Department of Agriculture’s statutory reporting requirements under Part 327 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act of 1994 (Act 451 of the Public Acts of 1994).

Metadata_Use_Constraints:

The Michigan Department of Agriculture, Environmental Stewardship Division should be acknowledged as the data source in products derived from these data. The 2004 agricultural water use reporting was aggregated primarily to meet the department’s legal requirements under Part 327 of P.A. 451 of 1994. The data may be of some use for multicounty, large river basin, State, and multistate resource planning, management, and monitoring. The agricultural water use reporting data are not detailed enough to make interpretations at a county level or finer resolution. The use of these data is not restricted and may be interpreted by organizations, agencies, units of government, or others; however, they are responsible for its appropriate application. Digital overlays and intersections of these data to scales greater than at which they were originally aggregated can cause misinterpretation of the data. Thus, these data and their interpretations are intended for planning purposes only.
