Interbasin Transfer of Water: The Michigan Council of Trout Unlimited is opposed to the
bulk transport of water from the Great Lakes Basin to locations outside the basin. MCTU
opposes any withdrawal or diversion of ground or surface water that will adversely impact
the flow or temperature regime of any coldwater lake or stream in Michigan.
Water Withdrawal: The Michigan Council of Trout Unlimited supports the ongoing review
and modification of Michigan's statutory regime for the regulation of water withdrawals to
ensure the continued protection and improvement of coldwater fisheries and their
watersheds.
