Des Plaines River Dye Study helps scientists examine possible Asian Carp egg pathways through fractured rock

USGS hydrologist discussing dye study. USGS Illinois Water Science Center Hydrologist Bob Kay explained the Des Plaines River Dye Study to NBC Chicago on November 16, 2011. Scientists are studying the link between the Des Plaines River and the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal through ground water pathways to determine if it may be possible for Asian Carp eggs to migrate through fractured rock. Check out the following videos hosted by NBC Chicago: Des Plaines River Dyed Red for Study and Hydrologist Explains Red Dye Study USGS hydrologist making bridge measurement.
