DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The River and Harbor Act of 3 July 1930 authorized the construction and maintenance of a 9-ft-deep by 300-ft-wide channel for commercial navigation of the Upper Mississippi and Lower Illinois Rivers. Construction of locks and dams supplemented by dredging and bank stabilization was required to maintain the 9-ft depth, particularly during periods of low flow. An investigation was performed by Colorado State University to evaluate the river reaches before and after man-made changes and overall changes in geomorphology. Additionally, trends of future geomorphic changes that could result from existing and potential future developments were addressed with the aid of a mathematical simulation model. Vegetation and vegetative successional patterns of the floodplain were characterized by the Missouri Botanical Gardens. Vegetation maps were produced delineating vegetational communities adjacent to the rivers and on islands. An inventory of the animals and their habitats was conducted by Southern Illinois University.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Objectives of the study were to develop a comprehensive bibliography of literature pertaining to animals and their habitats; to inventory the mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles, macroinvertebrates of public health significance, and habitats of the lower Illinois and upper Mississippi River floodplains; to describe rare and endangered species present; to evaluate fauna for public health, economic, scientific, and aesthetic purposed; to examine the effects of periodic inundation on floodplain animal life; and to assess the effects of pool regulation, bank revetment, wing dike maintenance, and disposal of dredged material on wildlife. Seven study sites were selected along the two rivers.
