35 years of partnership through the Upper Mississippi River Restoration program results in collection of critical data that informs decision making and incredible restoration projects! We are lucky to have this type of partnership working for the Upper MS River basin.

Today, we celebrate the 35th anniversary of the 1986 WRDA through which Congress acknowledged the international importance of the river ecosystem and navigation system and working in partnership among government and river interests. Happy birthday, Upper Miss River Restoration!

Towns along the Mississippi River have a new idea to stop #flooding — more #wetlands.
In our latest podcast ep, @cityofestl's mayor and a @DucksUnlimited biologist discuss a new partnership that aims to create more wetlands in the region. @cmwellenkamp bit.ly/2ZvhgWb

AWI board member Larry Weber, takes a watershed approach to problem solving.
4 Feb 2021
“Our watershed approach is focused on solving Iowa’s problems, but it is much more than an Iowa program,” Weber points out. “What we do to impact a watershed here on the local level eventually ripples downstream..." Says IWA Project Lead, Larry Weber deere.com/en/publications/th…
