Abstract:
Special field sampling equipment was designed and employed for gathering data concerning the oxygen consuming potential of bottom sediments and substrates in small streams in a six-county area in the northeastern corner of Illinois. The sampling program was designed so that results from selected sampling locations could be extrapolated for use throughout most natural streams and rivers in the study area, except for the Kankakee River and its tributaries. The data produced is readily usable for input into most dissolved oxygen oriented water quality models. The project was funded by a grant from the Northeastern Illinois Planning COmmission (NIPC)
