Description

  • The Drought of 2012 in Illinois as described in this report was an outgrowth of several years of drought in the southwest which began to expand north and easterly to encompass much of the Midwest. That drought continues to be problematic in states to the west and north of Illinois.Several meteorologic and hydrologic conditions contributed to the drought in Illinois. These conditions are described and the resultant impacts are identified. Quantifying the impacts in useful metrics has been elusive.This report serves to define the policy and technology issues which arose during the Drought of 2012 and to explain some limitations in governmental responses to those policy and technological issues.
