in 1848, the michigan-illinois canal was built. and that connected the mississippi river to lake michigan. after the illinois and michigan canal was open, the size of chicago more than tripled in one decade. which is absolutely phenomenal. at the same time, telegraphs came to chicago, and the railroad, and that allowed peoria to grow as well. there was such demand for transportation that another system had to be developed. so an initiative was started just before the start of the 20th century to reverse the flow of the chicago river. unprecedented. and i don't think it would have happened except for a scare. you know how the public can be scared and that move things along. there were a lot of cholera and typhoid outbreaks in chicago because of sanitation problems. and the fear of another outbreak gave the project enough push to dam off the rivers. the chicago river flowed into lake michigan, the calumet river flooded to lake michigan, at a public ticking supply came from there. they reversed the flow and created the chicago sanitar
