As part of MPR's “Trouble in the Water” series, MPR’s Mark Zdechlik reports on the Whitewater River, a waterway that symbolizes trouble in Minnesota waters.
The Whitewater, southeastern Minnesota's iconic trout stream, is known nationally for its pristine beauty and fishing. Yet the rains turn it, temporarily, into a kill zone due to pollutants flowing in from area agriculture.
Report is first in an eight-part series.
