@cbsnews: Rivers are a vital source for drinking water, plant and animal life, and community, but across the U.S., many of the largest and most critical of these waterways — and the people and wildlife they serve — are at-risk due to pollution, poor flood management and more. For the 40th year, the nonprofit American Rivers has put out its list of “America’s Most Endangered Rivers,” a call to action that highlights some of the biggest threats to some of the country’s most critical waterways that impact millions nationwide, and emphasizes what can be done to protect them. “Rivers are places where people’s souls heal and where they can connect with others,” Heather Taylor-Miesle, senior vice president of conservation at American Rivers told CBS News. “…the place where everybody is welcomed…something that can regulate your heartbeat, it can regulate your breathing, but it can also put you on a path to being able to keep going.” Read the full story and see this year’s list of America’s Most Endangered Rivers at the link. #water #river #rivers #flood #infrastructure #drinkingwater #environment #nature #wildlife #pollution #mississippiriver #riogrande
