The Illinois River: Physical Relations and the Removal of the Navigation Dams is a book written by Lyman Edgar Cooley and originally published in 1914. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the Illinois River, including its physical characteristics and the impact of the navigation dams that were constructed along its length. Cooley examines the river's hydrology, geology, and ecology, and discusses the ways in which these factors have influenced the river's development and use over time.The book also focuses on the navigation dams that were built on the Illinois River in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which were designed to facilitate the transportation of goods and people along the river. Cooley explores the impact of these dams on the river's natural environment, including the effects on fish populations and water quality. He also discusses the economic and social factors that led to the construction of the dams, and considers the potential benefits and drawbacks of their removal.Overall, The Illinois River: Physical Relations and the Removal of the Navigation Dams is a detailed and informative study of a significant waterway in the United States. It offers insights into the complex relationships between human activity and the natural environment, and provides valuable information for anyone interested in the history, ecology, or management of rivers and other freshwater systems.With Supplement On The Waterway Relations Of The Sanitary And Ship Canal Of Chicago.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
