Summary

Abstract: This map shows the distribution of major bedrock aquifer units within 300 feet
of ground surface containing potable water in Illinois. Major aquifers are
capable of yielding 70 gallons of water per minute. Potable water contains less
than 2,500 milligrams per liter of total dissolved solids. Bedrock aquifers
within 300 feet of ground surface cover most of northern Illinois ...

Quality Channel data are accurate to within approximately +/- 0.2 percent based on sensor noise level of 0.4 data number (DN). Temperatures are accurate to within approximately 2 degrees Kelvin. Relative albedos in adjacent grid cells are accurate to within approximately 5 percent. However, absolute albedo values are approximate. Accuracies for the products are difficult to determine, given the limited ...
