Devin Mannix

Devin Mannix is an Associate Research Scientist in Hydrogeology at the Illinois State Water Survey, affiliated with the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. His work focuses on groundwater modeling, aquifer system dynamics, and sustainable water supply planning.

• Research areas include chloride accumulation from deicers in shallow aquifers
• Development of groundwater flow models for Illinois
• Collaborative studies on aquifer depletion along fault zones
• Participatory modeling in Chicago suburbs for water resource management
• Geochemical assessments of radium and uranium in sandstone aquifers

Recent articles analyze long-term risks to the Cambrian-Ordovician aquifer system and integrate stakeholder engagement with hydrologic data for regional planning. He contributes to technical reports and datasets, including the 2021 Cambrian-Ordovician aquifer risk assessment.

Collaborations with the Prairie Research Institute and Illinois State Geological Survey highlight his interdisciplinary approach to groundwater quality and sustainability.
