Lake is a long, narrow 40-acre lake located in Delhi Township, southeast
of Holt, Michigan. It is the largest lake in a chain of interconnected
lakes that was formed by gravel mining operations along an ancient esker
during the past century.
The MWRC study examined: a) the concentration, distribution and chemical nature of suspended sediment in Cedar Lake; b) the quantity and quality of water entering Cedar lake through the agricultural drains during flow and wet conditions; c) the quantity and quality of water moving between Cedar Lake and other lakes in the chain; d) and the contribution of ground water to Cedar Lake. |
