Lansing Michigan 48909 517.335.4497 FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata FGDC-STD-001-1998 local time 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.
