SURFACE-WATER DISCHARGE AND STAGE: Maximum discharge, 19,000 ft3/s, Oct. 4, 1926, gage height, 18.50 ft, from graph based on gage readings, site then in use; maximum gage height, 19.06 ft, Apr. 13, 1994, discharge, 15,900 ft3/s; no flow Aug. 28, Sept. 5, 11, 17, 18, Oct. 30, 31, Nov. 1, 1988. |

REMARKS FOR CURRENT YEAR.-- Physical and geomorphic habitat data were collected as part of the National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) program in the lower Illinois River Basin. The data were collected according to Fitzpatrick and others, 1998. Reach A begins 820 ft. upstream of the gage and continues upstream for 984 ft. |
