America's 10 Most Endangered Rivers

Rivers in America are threatened by many different causes.  Each year, American Rivers produces a list of the 10 most endangered rivers.  This organization then works with river groups and concerned citizens to help protect the rivers from human threats.  For this project you will each be choosing an American river to research and report on.  You will be writing another five paragraph essay (like the one you just completed for the Columbia River).  Please address the prompt:

What threatens your river, and what can be done to protect this resource?
