Abstract
The Water Plan Task Force for Illinois was appointed by Governor James R. Thompson in 1980 to guide policy decisions regarding the adequacy of programs to deal with increasing numbers of water issues. The Task Force is presently composed of members from the Office of the Governor, Illinois Water Resources Center, Departments of Transportation, Agriculture, Conservation, Commerce and Community Affairs, Mines and Minerals, Public Health, and Energy and Natural Resources. In addition, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, Emergency Services and Disaster Agency, Bureau of the Budget, and the Capital Development Board are also represented. The continuing focus of the Task Force is on either significant water issues not being sufficiently addressed by current programs or emerging issues that can be anticipated to lead to future problems or conflicts. In consideration of public and advisory group views and its own maturing judgment, the Task Force identified ten issues upon which to proceed.
