Pollution: The Mississippi RIver is the most polluted river in America. On record, it has the highest number of waste being dumped annually. This causes many naturally occurring dams and other habitats to suffer greatly. The animal life has been degrading heavily due to the decline in quality of their ecosystem.
Mistreatment: Humans are creating too many man made facilities that destroy a majority of the wild life. As a result of these structures the pollution given off is at an all time high. Instead of disposing of it properly many companies dump waste into the Mississippi RIver.

Resources: Few parts of the Mississippi River contain rich soil and adequate precipitation for farming. This allows for vast timber growth and efficient crop growth.

It also provides excellent tourist attractions and nature walks. One can easily canoe or sail a boat down the clear water.Unfortunately, due to an increase in shipments many areas are restricted for public use.
