About: Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal

An Entity of Type: place, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, historically known as the Chicago Drainage Canal, is a 28-mile-long (45 km) canal system that connects the Chicago River to the Des Plaines River. It reverses the direction of the Main Stem and the South Branch of the Chicago River, which now flows out of Lake Michigan rather than into it. The related Calumet-Saganashkee Channel does the same for the Calumet River a short distance to the south, joining the Chicago canal about halfway along its route to the Des Plaines. The two provide the only navigation for ships between the Great Lakes Waterway and the Mississippi River system.

  • Der Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, früher Chicago Drainage Canal, ist ein 45 km langer Kanal bei Chicago im Bundesstaat Illinois in den USA. Er verbindet den Chicago River mit dem Des Plaines River, wodurch die Fließrichtung des Chicago Rivers in der Stadt gegenüber der natürlichen Fließrichtung umgedreht wurde. (de)
  • The Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, historically known as the Chicago Drainage Canal, is a 28-mile-long (45 km) canal system that connects the Chicago River to the Des Plaines River. It reverses the direction of the Main Stem and the South Branch of the Chicago River, which now flows out of Lake Michigan rather than into it. The related Calumet-Saganashkee Channel does the same for the Calumet River a short distance to the south, joining the Chicago canal about halfway along its route to the Des Plaines. The two provide the only navigation for ships between the Great Lakes Waterway and the Mississippi River system. The canal was in part built as a sewage treatment scheme. Prior to its opening in 1900, sewage from the city of Chicago was dumped into the Chicago River and flowed into Lake Michigan. The city's drinking water supply was (and remains) located offshore, and there were fears that the sewage could reach the intake and cause serious disease outbreaks. Since the sewer systems were already flowing into the river, the decision was made to dam the river and reverse its flow, thereby sending all the sewage inland where it could be treated before emptying it into the Des Plaines. Another goal of the construction was to replace the shallow and narrow Illinois and Michigan Canal (I&M), which had originally connected Lake Michigan with the Mississippi starting in 1848. As part of the construction of the new canal, the entire route was built to allow much larger ships to navigate it. It is 202 feet (62 m) wide and 24 feet (7.3 m) deep, over three times the size of the I&M. The I&M became a secondary route with the new canal's opening and was shut down entirely with the creation of the Illinois Waterway network in 1933. The building of the Chicago canal served as intensive and practical training for engineers who later built the Panama Canal. The canal is 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). The Canal was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 20, 2011. (en)

  • Het Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal is een kanaal in de Amerikaanse staat Illinois dat de enige scheepvaartverbinding vormt tussen de Grote Meren, in het bijzonder Lake Michigan en de Mississippi. De route naar de Mississippi kan afgelegd worden via de rivier Chicago of het (Cal-Sag) en verder via de rivieren en . Het kanaal is aangelegd om het afvalwater van de stad Chicago af te voeren. Voor de aanleg werd het afvalwater geloosd via de Chicagorivier op het Michiganmeer, de belangrijkste bron van drinkwater voor de stad. Na de aanleg van het kanaal draaide de stroomrichting van de Chicagorivier om en liep er water uit het Michiganmeer naar de Des Plaines rivier en verder. De aanleg duurde acht jaar en was gereed in 1900. In 1999 werd het kanaalnetwerk benoemd als Civil Engineering Monument of the Millennium door de American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). Het kanaal werd op 20 december 2011 opgenomen in het National Register of Historic Places. Het kanaal is 45 kilometer lang, 62 meter breed en ruim 7 meter diep. (nl)
  • O Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, também chamado antigamente Chicago Drainage Canal, é um canal situado na região de Chicago, no Illinois, Estados Unidos. É a única via navegável que liga os Grandes Lagos ao rio Mississippi. Fica situado entre o lago Michigan, o rio Chicago, o rio Illinois e o . Permite ainda transferir águas residuais da zona de Chicago para a de Des Plaines. O Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal faz parte do Chicago Wastewater System, sob controlo do . Foi inaugurado em 1900, e tem 45 km de comprimento, 62 m de largura e 7,3 m de profundidade. Liga a parte meridional do rio Chicago ao rio Des Plaines em Lockport. Entre 1903 e 1907 foi estendido até chegar a Joliet. Dois outros canais foram feitos para completar o sistema: o em 1910 e o em 1922. (pt)
  • Чикагский санитарно-судовой канал — канал, связывающий Великие озёра (а именно озеро Мичиган посредством реки Чикаго и канала Калумет) с речной системой Миссисипи через реки Иллинойс и Дес-Плейнс. Также канал несёт сточную воду Чикаго в реку Де-Плейнс. До завершения строительства канала в 1900, стоки попадали в озеро Мичиган, загрязняя воду. Канал является частью чикагской очистной системы. В 1999 Американским Обществом Гражданских Инженеров система была названа гидротехническим сооружением тысячелетия. Канал включен в Национальный Реестр Исторических Мест 20 декабря 2011 . Длина канала — 45 километров, ширина — 62 метра, глубина — 7,3 метра. До завершения строительства для судоходства использовался более мелкий и узкий канал . (ru)
