Minnesota River Watershed, MN

Looking at the Minnesota River, what is gathering and collecting at the edges of the river, lakes, and streams across the Lower Minnesota River Watershed. What is pooling in places? How does the character of the river basin change as you move through its spaces. What sort of element can be added for human uses that is a "plug and play" type of piece?

Looking at the types of things collecting, I noticed a trend of animals, plants, and different types of water quality. Leading people across and "into" the water to be at the same level of the water allowing them to be fully immersed in the river and ponds across the Minnesota River.
