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.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P13B99VW", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.67d9ba35d34e5a489eed1b6d.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_67d9ba35d34e5a489eed1b6d", "keyword": ["Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal", "Illinois", "Romeoville", "USGS:67d9ba35d34e5a489eed1b6d", "Will County", "commercial barges", "hydrodynamics"], "modified": "2025-09-09T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-88.060800, 41.640118, -88.059003, 41.646557", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "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"}
