The Calumet Aquifer is an aquifer underlying the land at the extreme southern tip of Lake Michigan .. aquifer. aquifer. Lake Michigan. Lake Michigan. It underlies the northern third of Lake County , Indiana and the northern tenth of Porter County , as well as small parts of LaPorte County and Cook County , Illinois .. Porter County. Porter County, Indiana. LaPorte County. LaPorte County, Indiana. It is notable chiefly for its high levels of contamination by industrial waste from factories and toxic waste dumps in the Calumet Region .. Calumet Region. Calumet Region. It is bordered to the south by Valparaiso Moraine Aquifer , and to the north by Lake Michigan .. Lake Michigan. Lake Michigan. Valparaiso Moraine Aquifer. Valparaiso Moraine Aquifer.

The aquifer sits in unconsolidated deposits of fine sand and glacial till in the Calumet Lacustrine Plain , with some occasional lenses of peat and gravel and areas of slag fill .. aquifer. aquifer. glacial till. glacial till.

The aquifer has never been extensively used as a source of water , local communities instead drawing water from Lake Michigan .. aquifer. aquifer. Lake Michigan. Lake Michigan. The area above the Calumet Aquifer receives an average of 36 inches of precipitation per year .. precipitation. precipitation. Twelve inches per year are recharged into the aquifer .. aquifer. aquifer. The storage coefficient of the aquifer is 0.12 , which because the aquifer is unconfined , means that it yields about 12 % water by volume .. aquifer. aquifer. storage coefficient. storage coefficient. As a groundwater aquifer , the Calumet Aquifer provides water to local surface waterways , including the Grand Calumet River and Little Calumet River .. aquifer. aquifer. Grand Calumet River.

The contributions can go in both directions  : when the Little Calumet is in flood stage , it rises above the aquifer level and water from the river enters the aquifer .. aquifer. aquifer. The aquifer also receives water from the Valparaiso Moraine Aquifer to the south , via the bedrock system that underlies both .. aquifer. aquifer. Valparaiso Moraine Aquifer.

Its greatest saturated thickness is around 45 ft.. The Calumet Aquifer is sometimes subdivided into the Calumet Aquifer and Lacustrine Plain Aquifer , with the Calumet Aquifer proper occupying a relatively narrow band along Lake Michigan , and also underlain by the Lacustrine Plain Aquifer in the subtill layer ..
