Floodplain Services Available from the Illinois State Water Survey

摘要

The purpose of this publication is to describe these Illinois State Water Survey services and the means by which they are made available to the public. The Floodplain Information Repository is a surface water report library kept by the ISWS. These reports, currently (1979) numbering over 300, have been submitted by various private, state, and federal agencies. Bibliographic information and applicable keywords have been extracted from each report and entered into the system. The system included (1) copies of actual surface water reports (if available), (2) a data retrieval computer program, and (3) Data Entry Forms (DEF). The ISWS is responsible for reviewing and coordinating 100-year discharges.
