Chicago's Noted River Can Flow Two Ways
Chief engineer Isham Randolph explains the Chicago Sanitary District canal may display bidirectional flow under a rare wind sequence. A northeast wind raises lake levels driving water into the canal. a following southwest wind can reverse surface current, while open sluice gates and pumping keep the subsurface flow.
