Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Quality of the Surface Waters of Illinois The Illinois State Water Survey, organized in 1895, has made a great many analyses of Illinois waters, but most of them have been for the purpose of determining the purity of waters for domestic use. Many analyses of the mineral content of waters have been made by the State Water Survey, but these are mainly of well waters. The railroads of the State have made many partial analyses of all sorts of waters in their efforts to obtain for locomotive boilers those that are least injurious. The samples of the river waters are selected usually at random or in the driest seasons. Thus, with a very large number of partial analyses available, it was not possible to learn definitely just what might be expected in the way of water at any point on any river in the State.
