USGS Water-Year Summary 2024
05570910 SANGAMON RIVER AT FISHER, IL
LOCATION - Lat 40°18'39.59", long 88°19'20.5" referenced to North American Datum of 1983, in NE 1/4 NW 1/4 sec.5, T.21 N., R.8 E., Champaign County, IL, Hydrologic Unit 07130006, on left downstream side of bridge on U.S. Highway 136, 1.2 mi east of Fisher, 8.8 mi west of Rantoul, and at mile 201.1.
DRAINAGE AREA - 240 mi².
REVISIONS HISTORY -

WDR IL-05: 2004.

Revisions: Discharge and Stage-Discharge Model. Sep 10-Oct 21, 2024. Revised based on re-evaluation of comparison with downstream site 05572000 that determined that balance was incorrect, with 05570910 holding too much water compared to 05572000 during low flow in Sep-Oct 2024. After comparing other October periods and seeing a beaver on-site in Dec 2024, it was determined that there may have been some beaver activity at the site causing inflated discharge values. Timing of shift proration was adjusted from "a hold of the previous shift to October 16 before prorating" to "proration between September 10 and September 22." An override correction was used to estimate discharge between October 13 and November 4, 2024 based on balance with 05572000. Weather records from Cli-Mate were used in determining some minor event timings. Period minimum discharge now an estimated 0.78 cfs on October 15, 2024. Minimum discharge for the 2024 WY did not change. Revised qualifier added. - EJK 1/14/25
