Research Projects Lists for 2007

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

This document lists 452 research projects for the Surveys FY08 Annual Report. As part of our annual evaluations, Illinois Natural History Survey scientists are asked to update their lists of current research projects. These are then categorized within the Survey's strategic plan, i.e., under various research program areas and associated goals and objectives.

Results of the 2004-2005 Illinois Deer Hunter Survey

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

The Human Dimensions Research Program annually surveys one group of forest game deer, turkey, squirrel, or other hunters annually to determine their activities, harvests, characteristics, attitudes, and opinions in Illinois. This report is the findings of that survey.

Returning Home Illinois Policy Brief: Treatment Matching

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

Data used in this article were gathered during the prerelease survey and the first postrelease survey of the Returning Home Illinois study. The primary research question for this analysis concerns treatment matching: Did those most in need of substance abuse treatment receive treatment? Secondarily, we are interested in examining the issue of continuity of treatment: Did those who received in-prison treatment receive postprison treatmentas well?

Research Bulletin

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

Findings in this Research Bulletin support the Illinois Juvenile Justice Commission as it attempts to report to Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention the status of its disproportionate minority contact efforts by assessing racial disparity at the point of arrest and among commitments to IDOC for the entire state and for each of Illinois 102 counties.

Results of the 2001 Illinois Light Goose Conservation Action Hunter Survey

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

Harvest of light geese during the 2001 conservation action was estimated at 36,830 geese, an increase over the 2000 harvest of 7,612. Participation increased to 4,665 hunters during 2001 compared to 865 hunters during 2000. Hunters spent an estimated 32,634 days afield during 2001, an increase of 4.9 times over the 6,643 days hunted during 2000. Hunting hour after sunset was the method used most often (63%); however unplugged shotguns and electronic calls were also used by approximately 50% of hunters (48% and 51%, respectively). As with hunters responding to the 2000 survey, hunters who did not participate in the conservation action reported no geese in the area and no place to hunt as the two main reasons they did not hunt light geese.

Selected analytical methods for well and aquifer evaluation

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

The practical application of selected analytical methods to well and aquifer evaluation problems in Illinois is described in this report. The subject matter includes formulas and methods used to quantitatively appraise the geohydrologic parameters affecting the water-yielding capacity of wells and aquifers and formulas and methods used to quantitatively appraise the response of wells and aquifers to heavy pumping. Numerous illustrative examples of analyses based on actual field data are presented. The aquifer test is one of the most useful tools available to hydrologists. Analysis of aquifer test data to determine the hydraulic properties of aquifers and confining beds under nonleaky artesian, leaky artesian, water table, partial penetration, and geohydrologic boundary conditions is discussed and limitations of various methods of analysis are reviewed. Hydraulic properties also are estimated with specific-capacity data and maps of the water table or piezometric surface. The role of individual units of multiunit aquifers is appraised by statistical analysis of specific capacity data. The influence of geohydrologic boundaries on the yields of wells and aquifers is determined by means of the image-well theory. The image-well theory is applied to multiple boundary conditions by taking into consideration successive reflections on the boundaries. Several methods for evaluating recharge rates involving flow-net analysis and hydrologic and groundwater budgets are described in detail. Well loss in production wells is appraised with step-drawdown test data, and well screens and artificial packs are designed based on the mechanical analysis of the aquifer. Optimum well spacings are estimated taking into consideration aquifer characteristics and economics. Emphasis is placed on the quantitative evaluation of the practical sustained yields of wells and aquifers by available analytical methods. The actual groundwater condition is simulated by a model aquifer having straight-line boundaries, an effective width, length, and thickness, and sometimes a confining bed with an effective thickness. The hydraulic properties of the model aquifer and its confining bed, if present, the image-well theory, and appropriate groundwater formulas are used to construct a mathematical model that provides a means of evaluating the performance of wells and aquifers. Records of past pumpage and water levels establish the validity of this mechanism as a model of the response of an aquifer to heavy pumping.
