Summary

In 2024, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in collaboration with the Cook County Bureau of Technology (BOT), carried out comprehensive hydrographic and water-quality surveys, and activity and disturbance assessments of 44 total water bodies encompassing lakes and rivers 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 the BOT with resource management decisions and practices and contribute to an inventory that can be shared with other local governmental agencies. Included in this data release are bathymetric, water quality, and observational [...]

Purpose

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