The Chicago and Calumet Rivers are just thin trickles compared with the Mississippi River and the Great Lakes. But the health of the two vastly larger water systems relies, in part, on the pair of lowly rivers that flow through Chicago.

The Chicago and the Calumet are connected by the man-made Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal to the Des Plaines River, which in turn flows to the Kankakee and Illinois Rivers, which eventually empty into the Mississippi. This complex network allows water to be exchanged between Lake Michigan and the Mississippi.
