  David Soong, Ph.D., P.E. (Primary), Audrey Ishii, Jennifer Sharpe
Project Title:
  Illinois StreamStats
Start Date: 3/1/2006
End Date: 6/30/2008
Summary of Project:
  The United States Geological Survey (USGS), Illinois Water Science Center, has an agreement with the Illinois Center for Transportation to develop and service Illinois-StreamStats, an automated Internet Map Server (IMS) which will produce discharge determinations at rural sites. Illinois-StreamStats will be interfaced with the National Flood Frequency program to generate peak flood discharges at various frequencies.
Objective of Project:
  The United States Geological Survey (USGS) is developing Illinois-StreamStats, an automated Internet Map Server (IMS) which will produce discharge determinations at rural sites. Illinois-StreamStats will be interfaced with the National Flood Frequency program to generate peak flood discharges at various frequencies.
Expected Outcome:
  The primary end result is a Web-based source of easily accessible, consistent and reliable solutions to the equations and methodology contained within the 2004 USGS report. This could produce cost savings benefits in reduced time and resources required by users statewide, including hydrologic / hydraulic staff and consultants of State (IDOT, IDNR & others) and local agencies that utilize the USGS methodology to size bridge and culvert waterway openings and to prepare / review other water resources studies.
