The biggest lake in terms of volume is Lake Superior. The smallest is Lake Ontario.
The most urban lake is Lake Erie. The most rural lake that Michigan has is Lake Superior.
The lake with the most shoreline is Lake Huron.
If we keep watching how we use the lakes, We can better conserve the water in our lakes. We also need to keep a close eye on how many pollutants we are dumping into the waters. The more we mess with the lakes, the worse the ecosystem will be.
Two pollutants that pertain to our action project are CO2 emissions, and oil from drilling that runs off into our waters.
PRELIMINARY QUESTIONS
The water from our house usually goes through a system of sewer drains, and waste management facilities then gets dumped into our lakes.
Runoff water is the excess water that flows over land, usually picking up pollutants or sediments dropping them into places like lakes or streams.
In more urban areas, the answer is yes. I don't think they should go to the same place, due to the fact that the runoff water is generally cleaner than the sewage water.
Sources of pollution are sediments, or gas from roads, animal droppings or bodies, etc.
Point source is when something like a factory directly pumps pollutants into the water system. Non-point is when something like gas or oil from cars sits in a parking lot and then runs off into the water system.
