We in the United States tend to think of clean water access as a third world problem, but I learned from watching Last Call At the Oasis that it’s a domestic one as well. The above map from the annual America’s Most Endangered Rivers report is another piece of evidence in support of that argument.
I grew up in Georgia, and I’m not surprised to see the Chattahoochee River appear at #3 on the list. My family used to go for picnics and the occasional boat ride on Lake Lanier, one of the Chattahoochee’s reservoirs, when I was a kid. Even if none of these ten rivers sound familiar to you, it’s clear from the map that at least one of them is connected to the water supply of almost every state in the continental U.S. That’s a little bit scary, don’t you think?
We’re sharing the full list with you below, but if you click on the map to visit the interactive website for the report, you’ll find a lot more information on the critical issues that landed each of the rivers on this list. American Rivers has also embedded petitions on the page for each river so that we can all take action to help protect our rivers. We’re signing the one for the Chattahoochee, and we’d love to hear which ones you’re signing too!- Farah
1. Potomac River : Pollution and Clean Water Act rollbacks have national implications.
2. Green River: Water withdrawals could threaten a water-strapped region.
3. Chattahoochee River : New dams and reservoirs threaten to dry up the river flow.
4. Missouri River : Outdated flood management putting public safety at risk.
5. Hoback River : Natural gas development putting clean water, world-class fishing and wildlife in danger.
6. Grand River : Natural gas development threaten clean water and public health.
7. Skykomish River : New dam endangering wildlife habitat and recreation.
8. Crystal River : Dams and water diversions putting fish, wildlife, and recreation at risk.
9. Coal River : Mountaintop removal coal mining endangering clean water and public health.
10. Kansas River: Sand and gravel dredging could cause severe harm to clean water, wildlife.
Yes, I’m going to keep on reblogging all of the posts I write for work until more of you follow Savage Senses. :-)
#1 - Potomac River.
#9 - Coal River. I grew up swimming in that river. It’s so sad to see how toxic it’s becoming. There are entire neighborhoods who share the same well water and they’re all developing various forms of cancer.
Watch The Last Mountain. It’s very eye-opening.
every time
hahahahahahahahahaahahaha
