The idea of ​​water is often overlooked as something we need to try in a sustainable way. We have the entire ocean and there seems to be a constant storm dumping rain on the land at all times. But do we really have enough water to meet all our needs, including irrigating our crops and the water we need to stay healthy? Do rivers and streams contain clean, healthy water? The project I am about to talk about was set up to try to answer these questions as well as many other concerns such as flood protection, wildlife and recreational uses, and to actively raise awareness and support them for change. This project is known as Modernizing Water Management and Creating a National Sustainable Rivers Program. The Nature Conservancy is partnering with the Army Corps of Engineers to try to find sustainable solutions to river health. Throughout the 20th century, the United States built thousands of dams and several other types of water projects to try to meet growing needs for water, food, flood protection, hydropower, and navigation. Of all the dams built 40 to 80 years ago, very few have been completely overhauled to determine if they met today's needs. They have not been inspected to prepare for future circumstances or to observe new updates they may need. With the idea of ​​this sustainable project, we can now attempt to modernize operations and improve the social, economic and environmental benefits they can bring to us today as well as future generations to come. The idea is to improve our current dams and try to build a better system to manage waterways across our country...... middle of paper ......r wildlife and also generate revenue for the state. There are 472 reservoirs in the United States containing between 32 and 48 trillion gallons of floodwater, enough to meet the needs of 900 million people. There are 116 of the 472 reservoirs that produce hydroelectricity, with improved technology and advancements that this project says could lead to a significant increase in electricity production with little investment in new infrastructure. Local people living around these improved waterways also see increased recreational activity and improved health and productivity on tens of thousands of miles of rivers across the country. This project, if continued with the passion it has shown to date, can greatly contribute to revitalizing our water infrastructure and provide substantial economic, social and environmental benefits today and in the future of the United States..
