Flowline Study, Mississippi and Illinois Rivers. Hydraulic Model Investigation,
Abstract
These tests were conducted to develop water surface profiles on the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers to assist the St. Louis District in updating rating curves, reestablishing design grades for authorized levee projects, and developing data for economic benefit and flood insurance studies. These profiles will also be used to ascertain which river flowline, the Mississippi, Illinois, or Missouri, would produce the highest stages at points along the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers for particular flow frequencies. Stages on the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers just upstream of St. Louis, Mo., are affected by backwater from the Missouri River and by each other to the extent that the maximum stage at a given point for a particular flow frequency may be produced by the flows of this frequency on any of these three rivers.
