Drought Vulnerability of Illinois' Community Surface Water Systems - Vulnerability, Illinois State Water Survey

Illinois Drought

Bloomington

Drought Vulnerability Classification

At-Risk System – There is greater than a 10% probability that the current system would not be able to provide the community’s current rate of water demand through a severe drought similar to the drought of record.

Drought Adequacy Description

If a drought similar to the 1939-1941 drought of record were to recur today, it is estimated with 50% confidence that the current system would be able to support a demand of 12.7 mgd (the mid- or best yield estimate). It is estimated with 90% confidence that the current system would be able to support a demand of 10.6 mgd. Because the system would not be able to fulfill the community’s current demand with 90% confidence, the drought vulnerability of the system is classified as AT-RISK.
