The need for improved geologic information is ever increasing as environmental and land-use issues continue to grow, with particular relevance to water resources. In northeast Illinois, bedrock aquifers are under regional stress and Lake Michigan sources are nearly fully allocated. Thus, McHenry County has responded with proactive water-resources planning. In cooperation with the County, the ISGS is in the final stages of completing a county-wide 3-D geologic model of the glacial deposits, which include the shallow sand and gravel aquifers.

Another primary data source that is often abundant in McHenry County is the historical water well record dataset. The quality of water well records is a common concern when using these data for geologic interpretation, and various approaches are used by geologists to assess the value of those records.
