Restless Rivers: Mississippi and Missouri Meanderings

Sierra Club member and photographer Bob Gill, of the Piasa Palisades Group, promises an engaging program.  Two mighty rivers drain over half of the United States: the Mississippi and Missouri. They have served as both roads as well as barriers to American expansion. They have had their natural flows disrupted by dams to favor commercial navigation. They have served as sewers for numerous industries and their spring floods can lead to massive economic destruction. 
  This highly visual multimedia presentation will provide an overview of these two rivers, exploring the history, geography and environmental quality of each. Using maps, satellite photos, diagrams and photographs, it will reflect on how our relationship with these two waterways has changed over the years and will take a look at the problems facing them in the future.  
Cost:  Free
