Description: Two karst springs, Collier and Indian Hole Springs, drain relatively large groundwater basins in southwestern Illinois' sinkhole plain. Water quality analyses and stream discharge measurements for these springs were used to calculate the total quantity of selected agrichemicals being carried out of the groundwater basins to surface streams.
