Summary[edit]
DescriptionChicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, Chicago, Illinois (14024074337).jpg |
The Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, historically known as the Chicago Drainage Canal, is the only shipping link between the Great Lakes Waterway (specifically Lake Michigan by way of either the Chicago River or the Calumet-Saganashkee (Cal-Sag) Channel) and the Mississippi River system, by way of the Illinois and Des Plaines Rivers. The canal also carries Chicago's treated sewage into the Des Plaines River. Before completion of the canal in 1900, the sewage in the Chicago River flowed into Lake Michigan, the city's drinking water supply. The canal is part of the Chicago Wastewater System, operated by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago. In 1999, the system was named a Civil Engineering Monument of the Millennium by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE).[1] The Canal was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 20, 2011. The Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal is 28 miles (45 kilometers) long, 202 feet (62 m) wide, and 24 feet (7.3 m) deep. Prior to its construction, the shallower and narrower Illinois and Michigan Canal (1848) connected the same waterways for navigable shipping over the Chicago Portage. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Sanitary_and_Ship_Canal en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_... |
