Please thanks to the supreme Court Ruling it'll probably wind up being used as drinking water!!

[@user-sn9ig9vl5p]

If you really stop to think about it, the further you are downstream on the Mississippi and other significant flowages, the chances are that you are drinking water that has been recycled many times over

Iowa has a lot of reckoning to do with the fact that the entire premise of the economy - monocropping corn and factory farming - is extremely unsustainable and bad for the environment

[@williamshaw5388]

What a complete and total disaster this whole nation is.

[@carolynforge8586]

Going down fast.

[@isocarboxazid]

Lot of people who won't take any aspect of these disasters seriously until they're drinking cups full of feces 💩

Fecal Soup is the name of my next band.

But what about the debate. Not one candidate cares about what has happened in the plains the last month. The number of houseless has grown by 1000s

[@tomhenry897]

Because sewer plants during floods don’t need to sanitize waste and just dump it

[@ajcraft-hello]

Horrific. Likely wide-ranging impacts on food supply in 9mo or more

Fecal could be in water 💦⁉️ Fecal is definitely in the water , scary stuff 😮 be safe 😮

no, you wouldnt know how to, hmm

With the technology we possess, we can find a way to harvest more than 30 percent of all this rain water.

[@tomhenry897]

Called marshes
Drained them for more farmland

[@Lee-we8zr]

@@tomhenry897 But I mean harvest direct rain water to control floods. I'm not a scientist, just a GED and some C- credits. But if big giant cisterns are built and placed strategically across forrest, it can hold billions of gallons of rain water. 😂 I'm talking out of school. Just an idea.

Hey Americans! 🎉
Sorry for disturbing you here. As you can guess that I am not American. But I am interested to learn American English I am want to speak like you. But I want to know about your suggestion that what would you like to give me as a suggestion to improve and learn my English. I am struggling with the English by the what is factor like the understanding native speaker what they are saying. Some native speakers speak quite different. There was an understandable. If I take the example of the Elon Musk, it is quite hard to understand what they are saying in the video for me. So what suggestion you want to give as a net speaker to improve and enhance and learn English spoken skill. Yes I would be appreciated and I am really sorry for disturb you here.
