Monitoring Data to Support the Operation of the Electric Dispersal Barrier System on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal at Romeoville, Illinois, October 1, 2020, to September 30, 2022
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) monitors water surface flow reversals, commercial vessel traffic, and temperature and specific conductance in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Electric Dispersal Barrier System (EDBS) on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, Chicago, Illinois. These data are planned to be released on USGS ScienceBase annually. This data release is the summary of all the data collected during Water Year (WY) 2021 (October 1, 2020 to September 30, 2021) and WY2022 (October 1 2021, to September 30, 2022). Water surface flow reversals at the EDBS are monitored using surface velocity radar. Commercial vessel traffic patterns through the EDBS are documented using a motion-activated video camera. Temperature and specific conductance are reported in near real-time from USGS sensors installed just downstream of the EDBS.
