Illinois Waters Surveys and Assessments

A directory of documents about surveys done on Illinois waters.

About the Reports

During the 1970s, the Illinois Natural History Survey performed intensive sampling of aquatic biota in Illinois Watersheds in order to assess water quality in those watersheds for the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency.  The sampling effort targeted known pollution sources, and reported a high number of unbalanced and semi-polluted stream segments in all basins sampled.
