Lower Minnesota River Watershed, MN

Due to increases in agriculture, development, and industry, our waterways used for drinking, recreation, and other life are becoming impaired to a level where they can no longer sustain themselves and those who rely on them. There are many organizations attempting to combat these effects and protect waterways. However, I believe there needs to be more understanding within the general public about the effects of poor water quality in order for there to be a demand for change in policy and law requiring more protections
