The Michigan Great Lakes' Water Shed

I am very passionate about the significance of the Michigan Great Lakes Watershed. Not many people realize, that the Great Lakes, are the largest source of fresh water in the world and a crucial resource to our natural environment.

The saddest thing about the Great Lakes' Watershed is that people aren't aware of the watershed's global improtance. As fresh water becomes a limited resource around the world, the Great Lakes' watershed will inevitably become depended on by many people. The sad thing, however, is that people are ignorant about certain aspects of Great Lake conservation.

The various pollutants that get into our Great Lakes' from farming, the auto industry, and lack of waste managment, could truly change the components of our largest source of fresh water. This wasteful and careless attitude could potentially change the biodiversity of our lakes, which would become a huge impact on not only plants and animals, but also human life.

Ecosystems are complex collaborations of living organisms. The symbiotic relationship of organisms within the ecosystems, rely on each other and would be affected by things such as, a change in water quality. By being proactive about the conservation and restoration of our Great Lakes' , humans can potentially reverse the declining water quality, and save the future of global biodiversity.
