    California’s San Joaquin River was a source of life. It helped provide food for thousands and was a home for many, but the Bureau of Reclamation took it all away when they ordered the construction of the Friant Dam. The Dam wasn’t created to destroy life, but to give life. It helped southern Californians get the water they needed by diverting the river into an aqueduct and sending it south. But what many didn’t predict was the mass die off of many fish that once lived in the San Joaquin.…

    The Chattahoochee River, Georgia’s most heavily-used water source, is home to a variety of fish and a supplier of over 70% of the drinking water in metro Atlanta; it was also ranked number three on America’s ‘most endangered’ list. Each day, more than 250 million gallons of sewage waste water is dumped in to river, so news that the river is constantly contaminated with E. coli is no surprise. Even with the vast amount of contamination, Georgia allows the dumping of waste to continue; they give out permits to dump in the waters. Without proper laws and regulations, the continued dumping of waste on the Chattahoochee River will eventually cause it to become too contaminated for human use and wildlife survival. The Chattahoochee River begins in the northeast of Georgia and continues down 524 miles to Apalachicola Bay, Florida.…
