abstract = "The construction of artificial islands with dredged sediments to enhance aquatic and terrestrial habitats using RMA-2 modeling was described. SMS was used to assist in the development of an RMA-2 hydrodynamic model of the Illinois River from Peoria Lock and Dam to the Henry Bridge. RMA-2 is a two-dimensional flow model in the horizontal plane and it uses a finite element mesh and the Galerkin finite-element method of solving three partial differential equations representing conservation of mass and momentum. The analysis results showed that as the flow in the river increases, more and more of the total flow is conveyed by the channel border areas compared to the main channel.",
