The present Master Plan for wetlands restoration only covers one side of the fence. The plan discusses 20% to 30% of the river being diverted along the Mississippi River between Donaldsonville and the mouth of the river and, I believe, this will make the river unstable. The other side of the fence is diverting with keeping the river stable and I want to share some ideas of how, I believe, to keep the river stable... Also in the article there is also shown a good way of removing the dead zone. Regards Ken Wetlands restoration will produce an unstable or stable Mississippi River?

Run off from 31 states flows into the Mississippi River and ultimately ends up at its mouth and in the Gulf of Mexico, which is why Louisianans often feel, rightfully, like America's toilet bowl.

The Red Cedar River flows through the lake, into the Chippewa River, which flows into the Mississippi and on into the Dead Zone in the Gulf. The Senator was not aware of the airborne toxins that threaten human health. State Senators & Representatives will also be here on Sunday, Aug 30th to view the problem. We understand the serious nature of this problem that affects both inland and coastal waters throughout the United States. The citizens of this community want to start at the very root of the problem to find strategic solutions in pilot programs that can eventually be shared throughout the United States to help restore the safe waters our original colonists enjoyed.
