Abstract
The Critical Trends Assessment Project (CTAP) Water Resources volume examines environmental issues related to hydrologic processes in Illinois. It concentrates on those issues deemed of major concern in regard to surface and ground-water resources. Each chapter of this report describes historic information and possible trends over time, allowing a critical review of the state of the particular resource. This review, a combination of many sources of information, can aid in our understanding and potential management of these resources. The ongoing compilation and collection of these data are essential to this understanding and must be recognized as a valuable resource to the people of Illinois and one which merits continuing support. The following sections summarize the eight major issues addressed in the report.
