| | | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 1994 | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | The Illinois Climate Network (ICN) consists of 19 automated weather stations operated by the Illinois State Water Survey. Stations are located on the University of Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station Farms, the Southern Illinois University Agronomy Experiment Farms, and on community college campuses around the state. The ICN is part of the Water and Atmospheric Resources Monitoring (WARM) Network, which also collects information on soil moisture, groundwater, surface water, and suspended stream sediments. The ICN data have been used for agricultural purposes, such as for irrigation scheduling and to evaluate the progress of insect and crop development during spring and summer. The Illinois Department of Agriculture frequently requests the wind data when evaluating spray drift complaints. The ICN data are also used to assess the potential for using solar radiation and wind as alternative energy sources in Illinois. At each station a 10 meter tower equipped with weather instruments records hourly average air temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation, wind speed and direction, barometric pressure, and soil temperatures at 10 and 20 centimeters. Detailed descriptions of station sites are presented, including areal photographs of a 1,000 meter radius of each station. Hourly wind speed mean and variances were used to estimate the effect of obstructions around the weather towers on wind flow at each tower. Total hourly precipitation and hourly standard deviations of each weather variable are also recorded. The barometric pressure, including hourly maximum and minimum pressures and the time of the maxima and minima, have been recorded since early 1992. Daily data that are saved include maximum and minimum air temperature, maximum and minimum relative humidity, maximum and minimum soil temperatures, maximum wind gusts and direction, and their times of occurrence. The data are automatically retrieved from the stations once each day between midnight and 4:00 a.m. At least three times a week, a database management technician checks the data for quality control, and then the data are made available to the public on the Midwestern Climate Center's Midwestern Climate Information System. | | | | Date Created: | 9 24 2004 | | | | Agency ID: | C-178 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000000765 Original UID: 999999993838 FIRST WORD: Illinois | |
| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 1999 | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | The Illinois River has become the focus of state and federal agencies interested in integrated management of watersheds. Issues related to habitat restoration, floodplain management, navigation, erosion and sedimentation, water quality, and point and nonpoint source pollution are all being discussed at the watershed level. One major result of these discussions is the Integrated Management Plan (IMP) for the Illinois River watershed. The plan includes 34 recommendations that are in the process of being implemented by different agencies at different paces and levels of intensity. The Illinois State Water Survey (ISWS) has played a major role in the development of the IMP and is actively participating in implementation of the plan. The implementation phase of the IMP involves questions and answers on a watershed-wide basis and is not limited to local or regional issues. Currently, there is no integrated tool to evaluate and predict hydrological and water quality responses to changes in the physical environment of the Illinois River basin. To fill this gap, the ISWS has initiated the development of the Illinois River Decision Support System (ILRDSS) for use in assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of different projects undertaken under the IMP as well as the consequences of other natural or human-induced changes in the watershed. The ILRDSS will integrate and expand existing databases and models for segments of the Illinois River and portions of the watershed into an integrated decision support system for the entire watershed. New databases and models also will be created for the entire watershed and to address important water quantity and quality issues. Links and interfaces will be developed that interconnect various databases and model components. Once developed and tested, the ILRDSS will enable decision-makers to answer "what-if" questions during the implementation phase of the IMP or other programs within the Illinois River system. The scenarios that can be evaluated using the ILRDSS may include climate shifts and fluctuations, land-use changes, and changes in regulations and water management practices. Using various combinations of these variables as input, the ILRDSS will generate output on potential hydrological and water quality responses of the Illinois River system for different temporal and spatial scales. | | | | Date Created: | 3 10 2006 | | | | Agency ID: | CR-648 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000000800 Original UID: 999999994054 FIRST WORD: The | |
| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 1991 | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | The Illinois River is at a crossroads. All the events in its history, both natural and those accomplished through human intervention, are now poised to change the river in ways that may render it unrecognizable in our own lifetimes. This publication is intended to introduce you to the Illinois River and the issues that will shortly determine its very survival. | | | | Date Created: | 9 24 2004 | | | | Agency ID: | MP-128 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000000920 Original UID: 999999994138 FIRST WORD: The | |
| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2002 | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | The Illinois River has become a focus of state and federal agencies and other organizations interested in integrated watershed management. As a result, issues related to habitat restoration, floodplain management, navigation, erosion and sedimentation, and water quality of the Illinois River are being discussed at the watershed scale. In support of this effort, the Illinois Scientific Surveys have initiated development of the Illinois Rivers Decision Support System (ILRDSS) for use in documenting project activities within the watershed and assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of potential restoration projects and management practices. The ILRDSS will integrate and expand existing databases and numerical models of segments of the Illinois River into an integrated decision support system (DSS) for the entire Illinois River watershed. New databases and models also will be created for the watershed, as well as a comprehensive ILRDSS web portal to all available data and information about the Illinois River and its basin. This report describes the current status of ILRDSS development and serves as an introduction to those unfamiliar with the Illinois Rivers Decision Support System. | | | | Date Created: | 9 24 2004 | | | | Agency ID: | IEM-2002-02 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000000921 Original UID: 999999994335 FIRST WORD: Illinois | |
