Abstract
This report summarizes the investigation of Sand Lake conducted by the Illinois State Water Survey and the Office of Water Resources, both within the Department of Natural Resources. The report investigates the ground-water/surface water interactions at a local area near the City of Havana, Illinois, which cause the occurrence, persistence, and recession of Sand Lake. This investigation was accomplished through monitoring well network data collection and analysis and through the creation of a numerical ground-water flow model for the area. The report also gives practical strategies for potential mitigation of future flood impacts based on past efforts and interpretation of data collected at the study site.
