Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book details the scientific investigations and results of a deep geological drilling program in northern Illinois. In the late 60s and early 70s, the author, an expert in the state geological survey, wanted to provide more information to city planners, county environmental offici…als, and community leaders about the nature of the ancient glacial deposits underlying their region. As the metropolitan areas of Chicago and northern Illinois continued to expand rapidly, deep sources of drinkable water were becoming overused. The author conducted a drilling program in Lee and Ogle Counties, collecting samples and data from a total of eight drill holes across those counties. This information could facilitate the search for new, shallow sources of groundwater. The author also ran seismic surveys and conducted a pumping test to further evaluate their findings. The book provides the collected data and presents the authorâs interpretations of how it relates to the character, thickness, and depth of glacial deposits in the region. This information can be applied to land use planning, and the overall environmental goals of the region. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
