A hydrologist isn't always out in the field! Meet Amy Gahala our #SelfieSunday for today, who is working in the office on hydrograph analysis for the McHenry County, Illinois Groundwater Network, found athttp://on.doi.gov/McHenry. Analysis is important to detect changes to the wells overtime and/or determine effects of land-use on groundwater.
McHenry County, Illinois has current and long-term issues with water resources in providing drinking water, responsible handling of stormwater, and balancing these needs while preserving the rich and diverse ecological systems. The USGS provides near real-time data from groundwater wells, streamgages and rain gages, and water-quality data for many of the McHenry County sites.
