This project is a big step forward for the Champaign, Ford, Iroquois and Vermillion County communities in better understanding their water resources. Water quantity, quality, recharge and security is an important focus for the Champaign County board, local authorities, industry bodies and communities. This project provides support and security to public health and local economies. Water security is critical for community sustainability, community health and economic security. This project implements rapid and state of-the-art science-based technology that is widely accepted globally as the best method for mapping aquifers similar to those in Champaign, Ford, Iroquois and Vermillion Counties. This advanced technology is a safe and cost-effective way for these counties to get precision imaging below ground.
This project will provide a critical scientific basis for ensuring water-supply security to prepare for possible public health problems or economic stresses in the future.
