👉 The Missouri Project is a proposed infrastructure initiative in the United States aimed at revitalizing the Mississippi River and its tributaries, particularly in Missouri. It seeks to address environmental degradation, flood control, and economic development by restoring wetlands, improving navigation, and enhancing water quality. Key components include the removal of obsolete dams to restore natural river flow, the creation of new wetlands to mitigate flooding and support biodiversity, and the improvement of levee systems to protect communities. The project also aims to boost local economies through tourism and recreation by making the river more accessible and navigable. However, it has faced criticism regarding potential environmental impacts and displacement of communities.
