Bureau of Fisheries Document no. 758
Reports on a survey of mussel fauna conducted in the basin in 1909. Shows mussels absent from dredged areas of the basin.

Prepared by authority of House Joint Resolution no. 50, 68th General Assembly. Describes drainage canal built in the late 1800s which diverted flow into the Kankakee River in Illinois. Findings did not support Illinois claims of harm from the diversion.

Dynamics of floodplain wetlands along the Kankakee River in Northeastern Illinois were studied during the Spring flood season of 1979. The study involved hydrology,water chemistry and sedimentation measurements. Flooding
was determined to occur at a river discharge of 4000 to 4500 cfs and the floodplain forest was determined to be under water 66 percent of the years for at least 10 days since 1917.

This U.S. Geological Survey report provides drainage areas for Illinois rivers and their tributaries. Kankakee River and its tributaries starts on p. 255.

Report on a 6-mile section of wetlands along the river that were in pre-settlement condition at the time of the report, and argues for their preservation.

ISWS Report of Investigation no. 98
The progression of river channelization in Indiana and the behavior of the river in the straightened portion in Indiana and the non-straightened portion in Illinois were reviewed. Historical data regarding peak, average, and low flows for six gaging stations were analyzed to identify trends.
