Although no longer there,never mentioned was the Knutson Dam on Cass Lake.
We had the South Dakota Dam. Open Pierre. And Port Thompson the Missouri River
At 42:48 Renee Hanson of the Army Corps of Engineers states that a basketball is about 1 cubic foot. An NBA basketball has a circumference of 29.5 inches and a volume of only about 1/4 of a cubic foot. That's a tremendous underestimate. Even using a cube with face dimensions equal to the diameter of a BB is only about 1/2 cubic foot. I wonder how much of the other science the ACoE gets wrong.
Why is the Mississippi River drying up? Are the dams being shut down for some reason?

I live in the headwater region and I can say this, we have a lot more people from Minneapolis moving up to this area and with that comes irrigating their houses year round, plus a few years of lower than average rainfall/snowfall and farming. Contact your local natural resources agency about river rewilding and using beavers to create natural reservoirs for the benefit of us and them

Remove the Dams. Free the River. Build Fishladders.
