Wallace said this report can help people understand how the river has changed in different places over time. Other organizations study and publish reports on the river, such as America’s Watershed Initiative, which issued a C- grade for the health of the entire basin in its 2020 report card, citing environmental pollution, runoff from farmland and ongoing funding needs for aging locks, dams and ports. “Clean water management techniques that we’ve put on the landscape have worked,” Wallace said, but “the changing climate and changing hydrology makes the future unknown even though we have these long-term trends.” Kirsten Wallace, executive director of the Upper Mississippi River Basin Association, said the findings are a good start to understanding what has impacted the river habitat. It is the third of its kind produced by the Upper Mississippi River Restoration program, which was created in 1986 to conduct long-term monitoring of the basin and focus on habitat rehabilitation.

It’s trauma, as Madelaine’s therapist might say. It’s a lifetime of being told to do your best and actually hearing, “ Be the best.” And when you finally think you’re there, it turns out it doesn’t feel as good as you thought it would, so you go back out and work on the next thing and the next and the next.
