About this episode
Tired of costly levee repairs at the Missouri and Mississippi confluence, the Missouri Department of Conservation is turning a portion of the Columbia Bottom Conservation Area back into its natural state. With this strategic flooding, conservationists hope to restore natural wetlands while significantly cutting down on maintenance costs. STLPR’s Katie Grawitch shares how the new levee will save taxpayer dollars and increase freshwater supply.
