Carmel High School 3 ©2015 Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Foreword Dear Readers, Writers and Friends of Rivers; For those of you who have supported the Rivers Project this past year, we want to again thank you for sharing your towns, countryside, rivers, people, thoughts, and hearts with the World. For you who have written, your writings, published here, will now become a historical document, ultimately, part of the cultural recordings of this Nation. The spirit of your community is captured forever in this literary creation. Hundreds of years hence, a reader in some formidable archive may ponder the words you have placed on these pages, wonder at the thoughts you may have had as you recorded these words, and might ask why these comments or documentations were made. Will your words be harbingers of good or bad for the rivers of our Midwest or even the world? Time and the records you now keep will provide a ledger upon which we humans will balance our deeds towards the rivers and their life giving waters. Will the years of the 90's be the decade of water? Already citizens along some of our major rivers are contesting its uses. Is such water for drinking? Or is it for transportation, or for recreation, maybe for flood control? Much industry needs good river water as do many of our municipalities. River water is needed by so many of us in this country. As its abundance decreases and our dependence on water increases, we soon come to the realization that it is one of the nation’s greatest recourses. With this awakening, comes a most important task, especially for us River Watchers, and that is to continue our task of nurturing these vital river arteries of America. So, as you read these articles, join in our new understanding of rivers. Laugh with the people we have interviewed, understand their knowledge of rivers, marvel at the wisdom of the "old" river rats, and revel in the talents of our youth who brought you these stories. The words are theirs but now belong to you. We live in a wonderful country that is full of life and so blessed by our waters, our lakes, and, especially, our rivers. Enjoy your reading, and thanks for joining us. We invite you on board with this down stream voyage into words.

It is not a commonplace river, but on the contrary is in all ways remarkable. Considering the Missouri its main branch, it is the longest river in the world - four thousand three hundred miles. It seems safe that it is also the crookedest river in the world, since in one part of its journey it uses up one thousand three hundred miles to cover the same ground that the crow would fly over in six hundred and seventy-five." from Life on the Mississippi by Samuel L. Clemens 10 ©2015 Southern Illinois University Edwardsville The Detrimental Effects Pollution Has on Our Environment Every day millions of Americans use energy, whether it is to power their automobiles or to light their homes. It is not very often that someone actually stops to consider what happens when potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. In order for raw materials to produce kinetic energy, energy of motion, a reactant must be added to it. In most cases the reactant used is environmentally detrimental, and it produces a desirable product along with undesirable by-products. In all reactions, by-products are produced, but the disposal of them is not always consistent with government or public standards. The by-products are disposed of through the most cost effective means possible. When waste is not disposed of or properly contained, it is allowed to find its way to our atmosphere, our soil, and our fresh water sources. As a result, improper production of energy is costing our environment much more than it is costing our wallets. Pollution along the Mississippi River (photo by Chuck Forber, Environmental Photography) Truly, industrial growth is important to our country's growth, but the careless ways of industry is costing our country its valuable top soil.
