RWSPG Open Forum Presentations

CMAP hosted an open forum on November 17, 2006, to launch a three-year regional water-supply initiative, which covers Boone, Cook, DeKalb, DuPage, Grundy, Kane, Kankakee, Kendall, Lake, McHenry, and Will counties. With 166 attendees, that event represented a critical first step toward creating a new Regional Water Supply Planning Group (RWSPG), which will be charged with making recommendations on water resource policies and plans.

This page collects PDF versions of slides by the forum's main presenters, as follows:

• Tim Loftus, Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, "The People and Water of Northeastern Illinois"
• Phil Bus and Paul Shuch, Kane County, on "Lessons Learned from Water Supply Plannning in Kane County, Illinois" 
• Derek Winstanley, Illinois State Water Survey, on "Studying Water Availability in Illinois" 
• Bill Mullican, Texas Water Development Board, on "Regional Water Planning: The Texas Model"
