Chicago River Too Small for Canal Water Supply
Drainage Trustee Braden argues the Chicago river must be widened and deepened or a Calumet Cut-off built to feed the canal’s 600000 cubic feet per minute capacity. He warns a slower river will leave the canal a placid lake, risking stagnation and navigational danger. Chief Engineer Randolph and Major Marshall back the concern. The discussion contrasts widening the river versus creating an alternate cut-off. The issue hinges on ensuring sufficient water flow to the canal.
