Groundwater Bulletin
The Illinois Groundwater Consortium published two issues of the Groundwater Bulletin, which summarized research results for extension agents, farmers, others involved with agribusiness, and the general public. These two 16-page issues were published in Winter 1993/94 and in Winter 1995/96. Contents are listed below.
