Using tap water as a basis for comparison, far left, Minnesota River basin samples showed a 50% reduction in sediment, second from left; average sediment over the past few years; and the worst conditions after a storm.
The muddy water of the Minnesota River doesn't just look bad. High levels of sediment washing into the state's namesake river are choking out vegetation, suffocating fish and, eventually, clogging up Lake Pepin.
