Streambed material particle-size composition in the Lower Illinois
River Basin
Samples of streambed materials were collected and analyzed for particle-size
composition at six stations. Six transects were sampled at each station.
Along each transect, three or five subsamples were collected and composited.
The samples were sent to the USGS Iowa District Sediment Laboratory for
wet-sieve, three-point pipet, and dry-sieve analyses.
