Answer to Question 1

Answer: The hurricane may have been precipitating several inches of water as it moved over Illinois, but it was too much water in a short time to effectively infiltrate the subsurface. Also, after such a long, hot summer with many heat records set, the ground surface was baked and less likely to allow significant infiltration. Indeed, as Hurricane Isaac crossed Illinois, many flash-flood warnings were announced.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Artesian wells have nothing to do with cleanliness or purity of water
