N2 - The hydrology, sediment transport, and hydraulics of flow were investigated for the Kankakee and Iroquois Rivers in Illinois and Indiana. The hydrologic analysis of flood and low flows showed that the Kankakee River near Wilmington, which reflects the combined flows from the Iroquois and the upper Kankakee Rivers, is strongly influenced by the Kankakee River during low flows. The presence of wetlands and the sandy soils in the upper Kankakee River were identified as among the major reasons for such influences.The sediment transport characteristics of the Kankakee and Iroquois were
investigated based on three years of suspended sediment data at four
gaging stations. Sediment transport curves and relationships between
annual sediment load and water discharge were developed. Transport of
sediment during storm events was analyzed by developing cumulative
sediment transport curves. Impacts of channel clearing and snagging were
investigated by using two computer programs to calculate water surface
profiles and to route floods on the Iroquois River. Flow resistance on
the main stem of the Kankakee River was also analyzed.
