They review and distribute permits for withdrawals from public water and, in partnership with ISWS, are responsible for collecting and reporting on high-capacity surface and groundwater intake across the state. The OWR also runs the Water Supply Planning Program which funds regional water supply plans. It divides the state into ten water supply regions and one subregion to provide a more granular scale on which to study water supply and demand.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1162_e987bb-f2, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1162_e987bb-f2[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1162_e987bb-f2\"]{margin-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);margin-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);text-align:left;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-family:Lexend;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1162_e987bb-f2 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1162_e987bb-f2[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1162_e987bb-f2\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1162_e987bb-f2 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1162_e987bb-f2[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1162_e987bb-f2\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading1162_e987bb-f2 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-theme-palette-5-color has-text-color\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1162_e987bb-f2\">Illinois State Water Survey<\/h3>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id1162_bcbaff-84 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id1162_bcbaff-84 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id1162_bcbaff-84 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 2fr) minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id1162_bcbaff-84 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id1162_bcbaff-84 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 2fr) minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id1162_bcbaff-84 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id1162_bcbaff-84 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-2-columns kt-row-layout-left-golden kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column1162_5c723c-42 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column1162_5c723c-42 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column1162_5c723c-42 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column1162_5c723c-42 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column1162_5c723c-42 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column1162_5c723c-42 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column1162_5c723c-42{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column1162_5c723c-42 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column1162_5c723c-42 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column1162_5c723c-42\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1162_14f222-cc, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1162_14f222-cc[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1162_14f222-cc\"]{font-size:var(--global-kb-font-size-md, 1.25rem);font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-family:Lexend;color:#264989;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1162_14f222-cc mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1162_14f222-cc[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1162_14f222-cc\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1162_14f222-cc img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1162_14f222-cc[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1162_14f222-cc\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading1162_14f222-cc wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1162_14f222-cc\">The Illinois State Water Survey (ISWS) is an arm of the Prairie Research Institute at the University of Illinois.

Through the Illinois Water Inventory Program (IWIP), the ISWS collects data on water intakes in the state that are \u2018high capacity\u2019 or pumping at least 70 gallons per minute. The ISWS works with IDNR to identify water availability in the state and compare it to water demand to assess where water supply risks exist and guide these regions towards

The agency connects residents with information about their local public water supply and provides private water users with necessary information on how to maintain water quality within their own systems. While the IDNR is responsible for monitoring and managing water quantity in Illinois, the IEPA is responsible for monitoring and managing the water quality. Both responsibilities directly affect the availability of potable water in Illinois.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1162_ccf569-27, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1162_ccf569-27[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1162_ccf569-27\"]{font-size:var(--global-kb-font-size-md, 1.25rem);font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-family:Lexend;color:#264989;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1162_ccf569-27 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1162_ccf569-27[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1162_ccf569-27\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1162_ccf569-27 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1162_ccf569-27[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1162_ccf569-27\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading1162_ccf569-27 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1162_ccf569-27\">The IEPA offers a variety of grants and low-interest loans that are designed to help communities fund infrastructure to reach their water quality goals.
