The Mississippi River Is DYING & A Terrifying Crisis Is Unfolding
This is the Greater Mississippi River Basin, the most extensive inland transportation network on the planet. This river system was instrumental in the US emerging as a continental power. It supports more than a million square miles of fertile agricultural land and supplies drinking water to over 20 million people. But lately, we've been hearing that the water level of the Mississippi River is at an all-time low. One month, we hear about the river drying up and the next month, it’s flooding again. The real issue is that in people’s attempt to control this powerful river, it has been turned from a dynamic natural system into an over-engineered canal, and now, that system is falling apart. Today, let’s explore why the Mississippi River is dying and why it might be too late to save this river.
