topography surrounding Battle Creek Michigan combine to produce a unique ecological equation. This equation sometimes promotes the accumulation of pollution and sometimes, at least in part, mitigates it.
Climate is particularly important in the Battle Creek region in terms of how it interacts with air pollution in particular. Michigan.gov describes this climate as ranging between "modified marine
(Great Lakes influence)" to "continental". Average annual precipitation is around 32 inches and there is an average of over forty inches snow per year with over one hundred inches
in some areas (Michigan.gov, 2007). Nonpoint sources of water pollution in the Battle Creek region have a diversity of origins, some
of these origins are obvious but others are more insidious. Nonpoint pollution occurs during rainfall and snowmelts as well as from atmospheric deposits. Nonpoint sources can include everything
from stormwater runoff from our every-increasing impervious surfaces, to septic tank leachate, to pollutant sources more often associated with air pollution such as chloroflurocarbons from aerosol cans and sulfuric acid
from industrial and urban discharges. When high levels of precipitation are combined with high levels of air pollution from the various
industrial activities around Battle Creek, the result is that the precipitation that reaches the ground brings with it some of the pollutants. These, in turn, pollute the ground and
water of the area. The Battle Creek watershed tends to collect the various land pollutants from agricultural, domestic, and industrial activities and to
funnel them into the waterbodies themselves. Once in those waterbodies the pollutants can present significant concerns in regard to impacts to the ecoysystem and to the animals (man included)
