Clover Leaf Model

The Clover Leaf Model is a method used to analyze how products or waste are disposed of in an area, especially in regions with complex river systems, like the Great Lakes. It visualizes the movement and sources of contaminants based on the flow of water and human activities, helping identify where pollution originates and how it travels. Think of it like a map showing how different sources contribute to water quality issues, allowing authorities to target pollution sources more effectively and develop better management strategies for environmental health.
