EFFECTS OF DECREASING WATER DEPTHS ON THE SEDIMENTATION RATE OF ILLINOIS RIVER BOTTOMLAND LAKES1
Authors:Donald W Steffeck  Fred L Paveglio  Frank C Bellrose  Richard E Sparks
Abstract:ABSTRACT: The annual sedimentation rate of lakes and reservoirs is usually not evaluated for changes in depth relative to time. By using a linear regression with depth as the independent variable and annual rate of fill as the dependent variable the effect of changing depths is negated. According to both profile and linear regression analyses, Peoria Lake is filling faster in the more recent of two time spans but Lake Meredosia's increasing sedimentation rate is shown only by a linear regression. The probable cause for increasing sediment loads in the Illinois River is an almost twofold increase in row crop production in Illinois.
Keywords:sedimentation  linear regression  sediment load  Illinois River
