Ph.D., President, Southern Illinois University STATE WATER SURVEY DIVISION WILLIAM C. ACKERMANN, Chief URBANA 1966 FOREWORD In many parts of Illinois, reservoir storage of water is an important means of increasing usable water supplies to enable community growth and develop• ment. Because of this significance for water resources of the future, the Illinois State Water Survey initiated a reconnaissance investigation to identify potential sites within the state where surface storage of water is physically feasible. This report provides information on potential and existing reservoirs in 33 counties of north-central Illinois. Publications containing similar data for 17 southern and 29 south-central counties have been published as Reports of Investi• gation 31 and 54, respectively. Data are being tabulated in preparation for a report on 23 northern counties. The division of the state was based primarily on drainage systems. These publications are intended to bring about greater understanding of surface water storage potential. It is hoped that the information will be of value in rural, urban, and regional planning for development of industry, agriculture, and recreation.

Dawes and Michael L. Terstriep SUMMARY The north-central portion of Illinois comprises 33 counties having a total area of 20,907 square miles. The physical potential for development of surface water reservoirs is favorable in much of this area because the rainfall and resulting runoff is adequate and the topography is suitable for reservoir construction. The counties included in the north-central section are Adams, Brown, Cass, Champaign, Christian, DeWitt, Ford, Fulton, Hancock, Henderson, Iroquois, Kankakee, Knox, Livingston, Logan, Macon, Marshall, Mason, McDonough, McLean, Menard, Morgan, Peoria, Piatt, Pike, Sangamon, Schuyler, Scott, Stark, Tazewell, Vermilion, Warren, and Woodford. Within these counties 340 potential surface water reservoir sites have been identified. Potential sites are generally abundant in the north-central section of the state. However, sites suitable for reservoir development are scarce in Champaign, Ford, Kankakee, Livingston, Logan, Mason, Piatt, and Stark Counties. Some of these counties have a limited number of sites because of the lack of topographic relief. A few counties have geologic conditions that indicate leakage and stability problems. Ground-water contribution to streamflow causes continuous flow in many of the streams on which potential reservoir sites have been located. The normal runoff out of the north- central area from streams such as the Kankakee, Vermilion, Mackinaw, Sangamon, Spoon, La Moine, and The Sny Rivers, and tributaries to the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers is estimated at 8.64 billion gallons per day (bgd). Rainfall in the area averages 35.5 inches per year, or 35.35 bgd. The normal runoff is estimated at 24.4 percent of the normal rainfall. The north-central area inventory consists of 340 sites which have 175,340 surface area acres, 3,041,000 acre-feet of storage, a combined drainage area of 6,523 square miles, and 4,616 miles of shoreline. Hydrologie data indicate that from these selected sites 786 million gallons of water would be available daily during a drought that could be expected once in 25 years.

    Middle Fork Vermilion River Above Oakwood, IL Study Reach.--The channel reach is natural. The study reach is approximately 400 ft long and is adjacent to the Kickapoo State Park Road bridge, as shown in the quadrangle map on the top left. The reach starts from 100 ft downstream of the Kickapoo State Park Road bridge and extends approximately 300 ft upstream. There are four surveyed cross sections (surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey in May 2003) available for describing channel geometries in the study reach (see plots above). The channel alignment, approximate variations in channel width and bank conditions, and locations of the cross sections are shown in the aerial photograph on the top right. Cross-sectional geometries vary gradually from upstream to downstream.
