why we take action

We take action to address core issues facing the Upper Mississippi River Region today. Learn more about them and tell us what change you want to see in the watershed below. 
NUTRIENT POLLUTION
Preventing "too much of a good thing". In excess, things like nitrogen and phosphorus can pollute our waterways and cause concern for human and environmental health. Learn more under this section of our blog.
CLIMATE CHANGE
Rising temperatures pose a risk to the habitat, water quality, and aquatic organisms in the Upper Mississippi River Region. Learn more under this section of our blog and this playlist on our YouTube.
GROUND WATER
Ground water is the water stored beneath the Earth in rock and soil. Learn more about it in our region under this section of our blog and this playlist on our YouTube. 
SURFACE WATER
Surface water is the water stored on the Earth, including lakes, streams, ponds, wetlands, and rivers (like the Mississippi!) Learn more about it under this playlist on our YouTube. 

    WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU.
