The Future of Michigan's Water
What about the future of Michigan's water? At CMU, the Biology Department's CMUBS and the Institute for Great Lakes Research has taken a multidisciplinary approach to understanding the complex issues affecting the Great Lakes Basin. Professors, students, and community members alike have banded together in an effort to conserve and protect the precious freshwater of the Great Lakes.
Political Waves
Water has been dubbed the "new oil." It will determine geopolitics, influence, diplomacy, and even conflict. While bodies of water form natural boundaries, people often share access. Michigan's boundaries themselves are tied up in water—with at least two state lines going through Great Lakes. The Great Lakes Basin has shaped politics since the arrival of French and British colonists.
