Book Description
During urbanization and industrialization of the metropolitan area of northeastern Illinois, a wide variety of problems have developed which reflect the characteristics of the hydrogeologic environment. Examples of such problems are pavement and slope failures in highway cuts in glacial till, foundation failures, heaving of basement floors, and surface and ground-water pollution by septic tank systems, landfills or other types of waste disposal installations. Too often the problems are not anticipated and must be corrected after they develop and correction usually involves considerably more expense than prevention. Prediction of problems such as those mentioned above can be accomplished only by acquiring a knowledge of the hydrogeologic environment. Included in the hydrogeologic environment are the characteristics of gravity flow systems, if they exist, the influence of the geology on those flow systems, and the effect of the flow systems on the behavior of the material in which they are contained. Cursory examination of existing data and field observation suggest that local gravity flow systems do exist in the surficial drift of northeastern Illinois. If such is the case , the configuration of the potential surface in the vicinity of any given shallow system should reflect the hydrologic properties of the material; and water supplying any given shallow system must infiltrate in a zone adjacent to a point of discharge. Water infiltrating beyond this zone must enter a different local flow system or move to a deeper aquifer. An understanding of such flow systems and ground-water motion can be attained by determining the potential distribution adjacent to a suspected local discharge area such as a closed marsh or stream. This study is an investigation of the hydrogeology of the glacial drift of northeastern Illinois in the vicinity of such suspected discharge areas. Particular emphasis is given to the influence of structural properties of fine-grained glacial till on the characteristics of ground-water motion.
