  Description:
    Abstract:
      The modern-day lower Illinois River flows within a greatly oversized
      valley formed by an old course of the Mississippi River and glacial
      outwash events. As a result, the section of the Illinois from its
      mouth near Grafton to Henry, Illinois is characterized as a
      low-gradient, aggrading bed stream with large backwater areas.
      Sedimentation in the river threatens to convert the system from one
      of river/backwater areas to one of channel/marshes. The sediment
      budget of Peoria Lake, a major backwater lake along the river,
      includes input and output through the Illinois River and inputs from
      several small direct tributaries. Results after two-year monitoring
      of these small tributaries indicate that they are a significant
      factor in the sediment budget of Peoria Lake.
    Purpose: Reporting results of research.
