GAGE.-- Water-stage recorder, phone telemeter, and crest-stage gage. Datum of gage is 658.86 ft above NGVD of 1929 (658.69 ft NAVD 1988). |

REMARKS FOR CURRENT YEAR.--Habitat measurements, including physical and geomorphic, were collected as part of the National Water-Quality Assessment program (NAWQA) in the lower Illinois River Basin. The measurements were collected according to Meador and others (1993). Reach A begins 66 ft upstream of the gage and continues upstream for 459 ft. Reach D is located 154 ft downstream of the road 2325 bridge (2.8 mi downstream of gage) and continues downstream for 492 ft. |

The following links list up to five tab-delimited text files containing habitat reach data collected at several sites. An explanation of column headers in these files can be accessed at this link.
Reach -- General description of the sampled reach.
Geomorphic Channel Unit (GCU) -- Fluvial geomorphic descriptors of channel shape and stream velocity (for example pool, riffle, or run).
Transect -- Channel and bank measurements made along transects (cross sections) within each reach.
Channel features -- Measurements of bars, shelves, and islands at each transect (cross section).
Transect Points -- Channel and substrate measurements and observations at points along a transect (cross section).
