We rely on water every day for so many things: Growing our crops, providing our wildlife with a home, or even just getting through our morning routine. But our lakes, rivers, oceans and other bodies of water are constantly threatened by sediment, runoff, pollution, and the growing population's increasing demands. That's why the Nature Conservancy, the Audubon Society, Delta Wildlife and the Iowa Soybean Association are working to protect the Mississippi River Basin, the United States' largest waterway.

Watch the video at the right and pledge to do your part to help keep our world's waterways clean. Our small changes can make a big impact. Whether it's taking a shorter shower or participating in a local river cleanup, by working together we can protect one of our planet's most precious resources: water.
