90 Day Plan - Day 50
As I paddle along the Mississippi River this summer I’ll be joining forces with Below the Surface, a coast to coast exploration of America’s waterways dedicated to promoting water conservation and improving water quality in rivers and oceans. The 90 Plan is based on the time it takes water to flow naturally along the Mississippi from its source in Lake Itasca to the Gulf of Mexico, and each day we’ll be sharing a bit of information to give you a better understanding of the situation along the river.
