What can we do about it?

Muddy Day at Pine CreekPhoto Story: Muddy Day at Pine Creek. Sediment from a nearby pasture washes into a stream.

For Teachers: Down By the River, a lesson plan on pollution and how everyone plays a part in maintaining water quality.

Nonpoint source pollution and karst topography: We know that under the Ozark landscape is an area of karst. That means water above and below the ground can travel rapidly for long distances. What's in our water is directly related to what we put into it.
