Frequently asked questions
The lake is a drinking-water reservoir. How does it wet a basement?
It is also a dam on the Sangamon. Holding the river high for supply holds the table high on the flats. A 1960 basement is a hole in that table, and May rain then has no unused room. A reservoir is a water-supply story and a groundwater story at once.
Springfield and Bloomington are also prairie towns. Why is a dammed Sangamon different?
Those cities sit on prairie creeks without this reservoir. Decatur's May job is a dammed river and mill flats. Similar May totals; the lake is the local mechanism the others do not have, and a basement on those flats is a hole in a held-up table.
The ranch is up on the grade. Is the lake still the job?
Not as a table. The grade perches May rain in silt with almost no fall, so the basement is a hole in that perched layer. The lake is the flats. One address is a soil problem and the other is a reservoir problem.
