In Iowa, the problem generally is nonpoint pollution from agriculture. How about the Seine? Maybe more from city and industrial sewage - which may be easier to zero in on to clean up?
I have long trusted Larry’s analyses and insights. My observation is a fundamental one: Regardless of the source of the contamination, a civilized society can’t allow our rivers and lakes to be open sewers.
At least the French had the political will to attempt (?) to clean up the Seine for the Olympics. I'm afraid Iowa does not have the political will to address problems caused by industrial agriculture. What does that say about our "civilized" society?
Thanks for posting the “Iowa angle.” The numbers are fascinating.
