Caption
The model’s predictions for where road salt concentrations will stabilize in 461,567 lakes and reservoirs larger than 2.5 acres. Each point on the map represents a lake or reservoir. The predictions assume that road density and salt application rate per unit of road remain constant at mean 2010-2015 levels.
