I took these pictures April 25, 2023. There isn’t any flooding this year but there is more water in the river than there was last fall which is a good thing.
Sometimes we take the Mississippi River for granted but we shouldn’t because we depend upon it for water and for shipping.
The world’s fresh water supply is decreasing at an alarming rate due to human consumption and natural causes.
Unless water use is drastically reduced, severe water shortage will affect the entire planet by 2040.
“There will be no water by 2040 if we keep doing what we’re doing today”.
