The area provides drainage for 250 acres of the city. He said stonnwater reuse projects are the wave of the future, but "one of the biggest challenges in all of our capital improvement projects is finding the land for construction" Drains lead to the r1wzr Scientists say such efforts protect the lakes as well as the 2,300 miles of the Mississppi River and beyond. "It's important to realize when it goes down the stormwater drain, it's a direct pipe to the river. Inmost cases, there is no treatment. It carries a lot of pollution that can impact the river locally and downstream," said Stephanie Johnson, a manager and scientist with the Mississippi Water Managemart Organization. "We have the benefit of being at the headwaters —this is a really clean river right here," she said. "Downstream there are a lot of problems. There is a huge dead zone in the Gulf of Mezioo which the Mississippi Riva contributes to."
