Abstract

The overall objective of this study was to evaluate the relationships between water quality, water quantity, stream channel characteristics, and aquatic habitat suitability in the Sangamon River from Lake Decatur to Petersburg. Phase 1 of this study involved the assessment of water quality in the study reach, with the key water quality indicator being dissolved oxygen (DO). The relationships between flow, channel characteristics, and aquatic habitats were investigated during phase 2.
