This book presents the results of a statewide survey of the chemical composition of sediments from backwater lakes associated with the Illinois River, a major waterway in the Midwestern United States. The author measured levels of 40 elements in sediment samples collected from 18 backwater lakes and determined sedimentation rates using radiometric techniques. The study adds to existing knowledge on the effects of urbanization, industrialization, and agricultural practices on sediment quality in river systems. The results provide valuable insights for environmental managers and policymakers working to protect water resources in the region.
