This is like the human body where everything funnels towards that black dot at the bottom.

New Orleans is like the a-hole of America

Here's a cool site that can help visualize watersheds for anywhere in the world.

riverrunnerglobal.com

Click on the map and it will show you the path a "drop of rain" will take.

Hard to believe there is no way to paddle across the USA with all those rivers, streams and bayous.

Think about all the farming fertilizer run off and chemicals we let pollute our waters.

quote:

Heavy rains and melting snows washed massive amounts of nutrients—particularly nitrogen and phosphorus—from lawns, sewage treatment plants, farm land and other sources along the Mississippi River into the Gulf of Mexico. Once in the Gulf, these nutrients, which are required for plant and crop growth, trigger algae blooms that choke off oxygen in water and make it difficult, if not impossible, for marine life to survive. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, estimates that the dead zone costs U.S. seafood and tourism industries $82 million a year. The impact could be devastating to the Gulf’s seafood industry, which accounts for more than 40 percent of the nation’s seafood. Louisiana is second in seafood production only to Alaska. The Mississippi River and its tributaries drain 41 percent of the United States..
