The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) is facilitating an important effort to study water supply and demand issues in the 11-county northeastern Illinois region (Cook, Boone, DeKalb, DuPage, Grundy, Kane, Kankakee, Kendall, Lake, McHenry, & Will). The Regional Water Supply Planning Group (RWSPG) has been convened to be the deliberative body composed of public officials, academics, business representatives, and other citizens, and will, together with CMAP, produce a long-term water supply/demand management plan in 2009. The RWSPG has been meeting monthly since January 2007.
