| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2001 | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | One of the main concerns was the ability to specify proper stage hydrographs at the downstream boundary of the Lower Illinois River for hydraulic design and analysis. We found that a unique stage-discharge rating relationship does not exist at the lower boundary of the Lower Illinois River at Grafton because of backwater effects from the Upper Mississippi River. Management options and results for managed storage and emergency activities need to be analyzed under more comprehensive design of flooding conditions. To improve the capability of UNET for modeling backwater effects for the Lower Illinois River, an extended model including Pool 26 of the Upper Mississippi River was developed. The downstream stations of the model are at the tail of Lock and Dam 25 and the Mel Price Lock and Dam pool, where stage readings are available. The model was calibrated with a 1979 flood and verified with a 1983 flood. Discharge and stage frequency analysis have also been performed for stations at Troy on Cuivre River, Lock and Dam 25 tail, Lock and Dam 26 pool, and Mel Price Lock and Dam on the Mississippi River. | | | | Date Created: | 9 24 2004 | | | | Agency ID: | CR-2001-10 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000000840 Original UID: 999999994323 FIRST WORD: Management | |
| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2001 | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | This report documents the structure and the use of a windows-based interface developed by the Illinois State Water Survey for the Office of Water Resources, Illinois Department of Natural Resources. The current version of the interface program is able to download historic, real-time, and forecasted stage and flow data from the U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the National Weather Service websites interactively. These data are used to update existing Data Storage System (DSS) database or to create new ones; to run the UNET model for historic, design, real-time, and forecasted flood events in the Lower Illinois River; and to post-process model outputs from DSS files in tabular and graphical formats.. This interface program uses the original UNET generic geometry and boundary condition files to maintain the same level of accuracy as the UNET model, but it also allows the user to change some of the parameters, such as, the simulation time interval, time windows, and numerical Corant number, and etc., in the BC file. The real-time simulation of a flood event simulates the flood stage profiles using forecasted stage and real-time flow data downloaded from related websites. With the primary focus on simulations of levee failures, the interface program lets the users modify parameters to simulate simple levee failures through the simple spillway approach for two types of complicated embankment failures, overtopping and piping. A new simulation can be performed using the modified levee information. The change of water surface elevation induced by modifying the levees can be compared with another simulation graphically and also in table format. Stage profiles from all the simulations can be plotted together with the levee heights on both sides of the channel along the Lower Illinois River to provide a visual view of the locations of overtopping. Overtopping locations and magnitudes will be tabulated should they occur. | | | | Date Created: | 9 24 2004 | | | | Agency ID: | CR-2001-16 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000000857 Original UID: 999999994333 FIRST WORD: Management | |
| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2001 | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | Brochure describing the research and services available from the Midwestern Regional Climate Center (MRCC) help to better explain climate and its impacts on the Midwest, provide practical solutions to specific climate problems, and allow us to develop issues-based climate information for the Midwest. Our data and information focus primarily on applications to climate-sensitive sectors and scientific research. In addition to providing on-line access to the interactive, subscription-based Midwestern Climate Information System (MICIS), the MRCC web site provides climate statistics for the Midwest and links to climate resources around the country. | | | | Date Created: | 9 24 2004 | | | | Agency ID: | IEM-2001-01 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000000894 Original UID: 999999994318 FIRST WORD: Midwestern | |

| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2005 | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | This publication provides an Introduction to the Mercury Deposition Network (MDN), which is the mercury wet-deposition monitoring arm of the National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP). The NADP is a cooperative monitoring program comprised of federal and state agencies, academic institutions, Native American tribal governments, and private organizations. The work of MDN is descibed, as is the danger of mercury to humans. Readers are encouraged to join MDN. | | | | Date Created: | 12 22 2005 | | | | Agency ID: | IEM-2005-03 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000000954 Original UID: 999999994475 FIRST WORD: Monitoring | |
| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 1908 | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | For more than ten years the State Water Survey has been making analyses of the various waters used by the people of the State. The work has been carried on in accordance with an Act of the Fortieth General Assembly entitled An Act to establish a chemical survey of the waters of the State of Illinois." This report contains data concerning the source of the water supplies and the quality of the water of cities which according to the census of 1900 had more than 1,000 inhabitants. The data concerning the supplies was obtained by correspondence with water works officials or city officers. Three series of letters were sent out and a direct-report, more or less complete, has been received from all but fourteen of the cities having more than 1,000 inhabitants. In a few instances data have been taken from previous works which treat of the municipal water supplies of Illinois. In nearly every case we have confirmed the data thus taken. There are also included analytical data which have been obtained by the survey since its foundation in 1897 to the end of 1906. | | | | Date Created: | 9 24 2004 | | | | Agency ID: | B-5 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000000724 Original UID: 999999992005 FIRST WORD: Municipal | |
