Summary
Seepage meters measurements were collected at three locations along the northern shoreline and at three locations along the southern shoreline of Crystal Lake, located in the City of Crystal Lake, Illinois on October 28-30, 2020, and November 4-5, 2020. Seepage measurements directly measure the flux for the area captured by the seepage meter. A positive (gaining) flux is assumed when the volume in the collection bag increases and negative (losing) if the volume decreases and the data can also be used to calculate the vertical hydraulic conductivity. The data provided contains the measurements collected at each location and calculations of discharge and flux at each of the seepage meters.

This data was used to provide a measurement for the lakebed vertical hydraulic conductivity which was used to calculate the lakebed resistance for a groundwater model input parameter presented in an associated U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report.
Seepage meter measurements were collected by Amy M. Gahala and Carolyn M. Soderstrom of the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the City of Crystal Lake, Illinois.
