Summary

In 2022, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in collaboration with the Cook County Bureau of Technology (BOT), carried out comprehensive hydrographic and water quality surveys, along with activity and disturbance assessments of 41 total water bodies encompassing lakes, rivers, and canals within Cook County, Illinois. These surveys and assessments describe the bathymetry, water-quality conditions, and on-site field crew observations and impressions for each water body and its surrounding catchment area. Data collected may assist BOT with resource management decisions and practices, as well as contribute to an inventory that can be shared with other local governmental agencies. Included in this data release are bathymetric, water quality, [...]
