Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 1-35.

Aquifer study.

  The Department shall conduct a study to (i)
develop an understanding of the geology of each aquifer in the State; (ii)
determine the groundwater flow through the geologic units and the interaction
of the groundwater with surface waters; (iii) analyze current groundwater
withdrawals; and (iv) determine the chemistry of the geologic units and the
groundwater in those units.  Based upon information obtained from the study,
the Department shall develop geologic and groundwater flow models for each
underground aquifer in the State showing the impact of adding future wells
or of future groundwater withdrawals.
