SUBJECT: Changes to River Forecast Services on the Des Plaines
River at Riverside, Illinois.
Beginning September 24, 2017, the following changes were made to
River Forecast and Flood Warning Services in Northeast Illinois.
...Des Plaines River at Riverside, IL...
The Action Stage for the Des Plaines River at Riverside was raised
from 6.0 to 7.0 feet. Flood Stage was raised from 7.0 to 7.5 feet.
This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) gage is located at the Barrypoint

request of Riverside and Cook County officials to reflect changes in
the river characteristics that have occurred over the past several
years.

NOAA NWS Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service page by clicking on
the Rivers and Lakes link on the NWS Chicago web site at:
