The mission of the Center for Groundwater Science (CGS) is to conduct research, collect and
analyze data, provide public service on groundwater issues important
to the citizens of Illinois, and to serve as the State’s primary repository
of groundwater records and data. This is accomplished through the development
and application of appropriate scientific methods and techniques to improve
our understanding of the natural processes and human-induced impacts affecting
the occurrence, movement, quantity, and quality of the State’s groundwater
resources. The Center also works with other Water Survey programs as appropriate
in the study of larger hydrological and biogeochemical systems.
Results of all data collection efforts and investigations are disseminated
to the public in a timely manner through a wide variety of formats.
