Towards a Greater Knowledge Base - Engaging Chicago River Watershed Intelligence to Demonstrate Systemic Landscape Design Strategies
… actual vehicle of study, this thesis engages the Chicago River Watershed (CRW) with the intent of demonstrating the application of these strategies. In this manner, systemic tactics grounded in an existing landscape context are developed to move landscape architecture closer to a role of …

Application and enhancement of the SRM model
… thesis [1]. Then the model has been adapted to river sys- tems that include non-prismatic channels with input HPGs/VPGs and has been applied to the Belo Monte canal and the Main Stem Chicago river. The comparison with eld data or with other models results is satisfying, the error …

Concrete Innovation Museum: A Symphony of Liquid Stone and Light
… a 3.4-acre remediated site at the mouth of the Chicago River, overlooking Lake Michigan. The park honors Jean Baptiste Point du Sable, Chicago's first non-Native settler, and offers a platform to engage with the city's urban and material heritage. The proposed Concrete Innovation Museum reflects …

Simulation of suspended sediment and contaminant transport in shallow water using two-dimensional depth-averaged model with unstructured meshes
… Furthermore, a dye-tracer study in the Chicago River is simulated for verifying the model in a real-world project. The numerical results show satisfactory matches with the field measurement data. A widely used three-dimensional model EFDC is also used for comparison. Both pure advection …

Implementation of three-dimensional eutrophication model of Bubbly Creek, Chicago, Illinois
The Chicago Area Waterways System (CAWS) is a highly branched complex consisting of natural rivers and artificial canals. Known for its flow reversal project done in the early 20th century, the CAWS now links Lake Michigan with the Mississippi watershed, and the water generally flows westward, away …

Hydrodynamic and water quality modelling of Chicago Area Waterway System (CAWS)
Chicago Area Waterway System (CAWS) is a highly branched network of natural rivers and man-made canals. The total length of CAWS including rivers and canals is about 250 kms (156 miles). Although not very long CAWS is famous for the engineering feat that reversed the flow of Chicago River (CR), an …

Hydraulic modelling of Chicago Area Waterways System (CAWS) to assess the impact of hydrologic separation on water levels and potential flooding during extreme rainfall events in Chicago, Illinois
… model (HEC—RAS) was implemented for the Chicago Area Waterways System (CAWS) for two configurations: i) current conditions, and i) physical separation with barriers. Hydrologic conditions were those for the 100-year storm event observed in September 2008. Combined Sewer Overflow …
