Which statement(s) best describe(s) your concern(s) about Minnesota’s water?
Please select up to five.
We need to be ready for more frequent and more extreme weather events such as super storms and droughts.
As our landscape changes from grasslands and forests, we need to ensure that our development doesn’t pollute nearby groundwater, lakes, rivers and streams, and doesn’t result in a net loss of wetlands.
Aquatic invasive species are having a devastating impact on the lakes, rivers and streams that become infested.
Minnesota has a special responsibility to protect our iconic waters like Lake Superior, the Boundary Waters, and the Mississippi Rivers Headwaters.
Minnesota needs abundant, available water for our businesses and farms to thrive and remain competitive with other states.
The rivers that leave our state should not create pollution problems in the Gulf of Mexico or other places where they discharge.
Emerging contaminants such as pharmaceuticals and personal care products create new challenges for wastewater and drinking water treatment.
Runoff from both our urban and rural landscapes is putting our lakes, rivers, and streams at risk of being polluted for many decades.
Minnesota is home to businesses that are global leaders in water technology, and we can all benefit by their work to address our water challenges.
Urban water use is creating pressures on our aquifers that must be addressed in a way that guarantees water for future generations.
Aging water infrastructure such as treatment plants and sewer lines are creating a burden on residents hit with higher water bills to pay for upgrades.
Some of our lakes and rivers have seen a noticeable drop in water levels that is affecting property values, recreation opportunities, and aquatic life.
Every Minnesotan should be guaranteed access to safe, clean drinking water.
Minnesota’s Legacy Amendment funds are set to expire in 2034. The money we spend should be wisely targeted to maximize water protection and clean-up.
