Des Moines Register: Threatened with pollution from farms and cities, habitat loss and increased flooding due to climate change, the Mississippi River ranks among the nation’s 10 most endangered waterways in 2022, a new report says. The Mississippi River, one of the world’s largest rivers, borders Iowa and nine other states before emptying into the Gulf of Mexico. It ranks sixth on this year’s American Rivers’ Most Endangered Rivers list, released Monday.
