The 1988-1989 drought in Illinois: causes, dimensions, and impacts

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

The 1988-1989 drought was one of the most disastrous droughts in the history of the state. Hydrologic, meteorological, and climatological aspects of the 1988-1989 drought in Illinois are addressed. The drought is evaluated in terms of recipitation, streamflow, lakes and reservoirs, and ground-water resources of the state. The meteorological conditions that produced the drought also are addressed. Impacts and problems resulting from the drought are discussed along with various actions taken to ameliorate the problems. Although the primary goal of the study was to quantify the drought, primarily in a physical sense, an important secondary goal was to assess the impacts and the actions employed in order to derive information needed in future planning and handling of Illinois droughts. The report thus ends with a set of recommendations for coping with future droughts.

Water-level trends and pumpage in the deep bedrock aquifers in the Chicago region, 1991 - 1995

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

The deep bedrock aquifer system in northeastern Illinois is encountered at depths ranging from about 200 feet in areas of central northern Illinois to an average of about 1,000 feet below land surface at Chicago. The aquifers have a collective thickness of 300 to 1,300 feet in the Chicago region, averaging 700 feet. They are composed chiefly of sandstones and dolomites, although most of the water is derived from the sandstone units. Pumpage from deep bedrock wells for public and self-supplied industrial supplies in the Chicago region increased from 200,000 gallons per day (gpd) in 1864 to a peak withdrawal of 182.9 million gallons per day (mgd) in 1979. Between 1991 and 1994, pumpage decreased from 112.7 mgd to 67.1 mgd, mostly due to a shift to Lake Michigan water, particularly in DuPage County. As a result, water levels in deep wells rose between 1991 and 1995, particularly in southern Lake, eastern DuPage, and western Cook Counties. Average annual water-level rises during the four-year period varied from one foot in Kendall County to 38 feet in DuPage County and averaged about 14 feet. This marked the first time that average water-level changes were upward in all eight counties of the Chicago area since detailed record-keeping began in the 1950s.
