Hydrologic Design of Side-Channel Reservoirs in Illinois

摘要

This report provides data and methodologies for use in the hydrologic design and evaluation of side-channel reservoirs in Illinois. A side-channel reservoir is an off-stream storage impoundment into which water is pumped from a nearby stream. These types of reservoirs are seen as a viable alternative to conventional impounding reservoirs when the amount of storage required for water supply is relatively small. The data in this report include demand-storage-recurrence design graphs for 87 stream gaging stations in Illinois.
