- 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.

Don't listen to this bot. They know nothing about the river. Throughout history, the river has been subject to massive variation. We have been navigating the river since Fulton invented the steamboat. Currently, the gauge at Baton Rouge is 32 feet. 20 feet more than last year. Its not expected to drop below 28 feet until June 22nd. It is a natural cycle.
Whether one agrees or in foggy denial - It’s in the BIBLE - the end is near and even secular history and events prove this. Worry not for this must happen so, HE, YESHUA/JESUS THE MESSIAH SON OF GOD can return. Stay strong with faith over fear, HIS Faith/Truth, no matter what, this too shall pass. ⛓️💥🎯🗺️🎺🦁🐑🛐
i tried to take my sailboat down from Ft Madison and got as far as MO. the locks and dams were just too dangerous. the rocks placed along the banks made overnighting a problem. i destroyed part of my centerboard on them. once i grounded on a sand bar and had to get out of the boat to push it off. i had sores on my body for days. the only fish were channel and flathead cats and carp. many of the farmers i talked with said the tributaries were rising on their lands, permanently over a period of years. all this was enough to sour me on the river. iowa factory farms dump tons of waste into the river via tributaries. corn and soy are genetically modified to tolerate certain chems which creates dead zones on land where they are used. we are losing our resilient land. small farms are being killed off and replaced by big business. unhealthy food is being produced and cruelty to farm animals is common. i think mother nature needs to just wash it all away. poor caretakers of the land should not be farming. but really this all comes down to the consumer allowing such to happen.
It was announcement in February 2024 by the Army Core of Engineers that the Mississippi drought is officially over.
Misleading and some incorrect information!! I have lived in Iowa and along the Mississippi River my whole life and my Grandfather Hartzell ran a river barge and Ferry for decades on the Mississippi in the 50's in Iowa our Most fertile fields for growing crops have been covered over with concrete and blacktop to make New business instead of growing crops to feed America,do you know the Mid-West area feeds 90% of our country? And politicians are coveting up the fertile fields to make sure China can buy alot so they can ship the goods back to China since they own the land and crops=cattle on it also!! So Americans get less and less!! And we have 4 times more backwaters along the Mississippi River than we do actual river,the channel is only a few hundred feet wide at its best,but the river and backwater are about a mile wide in alot of places and in Clinton Iowa at Eagle Point Park you can barely see the other side of the river,because it is so wide there..
Nature always wins. Restore some floodplains.
The river is bound to reflect the extremes of flooding and drought on the lands that it drains.
Funny I am currently in Minnesota where the Mississippi starts at . The Water Level is Higher than it's been in many Years !!!
"Federal Reserve Budget" what is that?
Notice how utterly WRONG the map they show at the first of the video is. Just completely wrong.
As a truck driver, I've been crossing the Mississippi River for the past 16 years. It rises and lowers, always has always will.
If you live in a floodplain…
Looks to me a good fix to one major issue would be to have farmers along the Mississippi to change what products they farm to rotate through ones helpful for the river without using chemicals.
Oh Bull, River is up, we need more upland water retention like ponds and lakes
Its not dying. The truth of the matter is the rivers and streams that form the Headwaters of the Mississippi, well there was this thing called a Drought, this past winter. Not much snow fell. Even in Yellowstone National Park, Not a lot of snow. So with out all the snow, and so far very little rain. Of course the river is going to run low, and this is not the first time, that I know of, that its happened. Do some research before you go off Half Cocked.
Thank you for your presentation and you made some good points. The modern history of the Mississippi can be viewed in three parts. You mention the original first part of levee building spurred by the 1927 floods. This effort created it's own set of problems. The second part was when the US Army Corp of Emener's got the message and started to control water flows with upstream dams, a good example being the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). Now the third part, as you mentioned, is an effort to "re-wild" the river by letting flood water spread into adjacent lowlands.
Umm it’s currently at flood stages in southern Missouri!
What a bunch of crap 😢
A shame wouldn't be possible to export agriculture products without it also the energy industry
Whatever is best for shareholders over protecting the environment is the American Way ever since we stole it all from the Natives.
