Lake Michigan water diversion to the Illinois River
The Supreme Court of the United States has heard adversarial proceedings about conflicts of interest regarding the use of Great Lakes waters since before Illinois became a state in 1818. Its decrees have guided water resource development. The construction of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal in 1900 which reversed the flow of the Chicago River, and the development of sewage treatment plants by the Metropolitan Sanitary District of Greater Chicago which remove 95.4 percent of the BOD of sewage have been cited as a modern wonder of engineering achievement. Hydroelectric power plants on the St. Lawrence River generate 5.9 mil. Kilowatt hour of energy each year. Lake Michigan water diversion lessens this power resource. A 1966 Supreme Court decree limits diversion to 3200 cfs. Illinois has allocated this water to 131 entities. Lake Michigan contains 1172 cubic miles of fresh water. Present diversion is an infinitesimal part of this resource
