Summary

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Cook County Bureau of Technology (BOT), prioritized waterbodies (lakes, rivers, and canals) of interest within Cook County to survey in 2022. These surveys describe the bathymetry and basic water-quality conditions observed, and could be used by the BOT to assist with resource management decisions and uses, as well as build an inventory that could be shared with other local governmental agencies. Waterbodies surveyed in 2022 and included in this data release are: Arrowhead Lake, Axehead Lake, Baker's Lake, Belly Deep Slough, Bode Lake North, Bode Lake South, Bull Frog Lake, Busse Lake Main Pool, Busse Lake North Pool, Busse Lake South Pool, Busse Woods Reservoir, Consumers [...]

Purpose

Waterbody survey data were collected to support the BOT's inventory efforts in Cook County. This inventory could be used to inform management of water resources and local hydrology, assist emergency responders conducting search and rescue operations, inform construction permitting, as well as increase the overall understanding of local aquatic habitats.
