Добавлен 19 дек 2011
The Mississippi Watershed Management Organization works to protect and improve water quality, habitat and natural resources in an urban watershed that drains directly into the Mississippi River. We are a joint-powers local government unit and one of approximately three dozen watershed organizations in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. Our member communities include Columbia Heights, Fridley, Hilltop, Lauderdale, Minneapolis, the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board, St. Anthony Village and Saint Paul.
The MWMO encompasses 25,543 acres (39.9 square miles) of fully developed urban lands and waters. We partner with our member communities to invest in green infrastructure that captures, cleans and reuses stormwater runoff. Our team monitors and tracks water quality in the watershed and conducts education and outreach to promote active environmental stewardship among residents.

The number and variety of macroinvertebrates (creatures like crayfish, mussels, dragonflies and worms) present in a waterbody are an indicator of water quality, since healthier waters support larger and more diverse populations. In this video, MWMO water quality monitoring staff highlight the types of macroinvertebrates found in the Kasota Ponds wetlands in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Hydrodynamic Separator Installation on 35th Avenue NE in Minneapolis
Great video, thank you for clear explanation.
The comical part is showing wind turbines being good for reducing co2 emissions
rest in peace alien city
I love the fact that you take the trash.
can i know what is the function of magnet? and which one is the magnet in your video?
most obvious money propaganda lolllllll😂😂
you realize that this is natural, we are still exiting the ice age
Why don't you discuss what they are good for and that the Golden rod is not what upsets peoples allergies
Despite what some morons might say, climate change is very real. We should all be taking it much more seriously. Thanks for getting the info out there.
tell me you are being paid by democratic liberals without telling me you are being by democratic liberals😂😂
Yea Connie!! Great job.
Love it! -- Lois Eberhart, Still a Big Fan
Sure sure
I love that you took your trash with you. You're awesome!
MashaAllah Amazing 👍💪🌹💓💓💓💓
Great to learn about this! I hope to make it to one of the fishing events. I also resonated with meeting across cultures because we each have fishing as part of our history and culture. Gets me thinking about sharing tasty recipes too
I came to see the installation of the hose as well and a few ideas how to get the ground level for the patio pavers. Seems like that was all done ahead of time and she just put back the pavers where they were previously fitted because how often is the ground even exactly where you need it to be.
Absolutely! Everybody needs to give back to nature at least some of what they have taken.
Those pavers aren’t level, nor stable, do you realize the water weight? I would definitely secure that barrel to the house, I hate to see a neighborhood child or someone’s beloved pet get injured, or killed. You are not qualified to be giving advice.
I realize that this video waa made 3y ago. The way you stacked the paver blocks, right on the uneven ground, will eventually fail you. The last few years have been very dry, down here over the Minnesota/Iowa border. So, our ground hasnt been saturated with rain water for some time. The proper way to do this, would digging about a 6" deep hole, where the pavers will set. In the bottom of that hole, put "Locking" sand at about 3" depth. Then, top that off with some crushed rock (gravel, pea gravel, etc.) Make sure its packed in tight. (Tamp it). If you leave it like you have it, eventually the ground will get saturated with heavy rain. That would cause those pavers to start moving around in the mud. With this, i would also line the four sides of the hole with something to keep it from collapsing into the hole (Pond Liner Material, ground rated 2x6, cut metal pieces, etc). This would be an extra safety measure, to keep the heavy, saturated soil from collapsing in on the lighter, more porous, rock and sand. But, if the sand and crushed rock is packed in well enough, that could hold it stable. Why this works is, the crushed gravel and LOCKING sand, allow water to flow though it. So, no water will stay in that hole. The soil at the bottom of the hole is packed tight enough that it won't cause any movement. If i wasn't clear about something, please hit me back with questions. Thank you for the info on rain barrels.
Instead of filling up spray can with hose just dip it in barrel, quicker.
Where can I purchase that flat overflow hose you have? I can’t seem to find it. Thank you!
I have the same barrels and it came with it.
question have you ever tried installing rain barrel under valley on a roof I am sure you will get some spillage but 100 gallons is worth a try as opposed to not positioning a rain barrel at all? i understand the gutter installation but i have issues on the valley both sides of my house
We haven't tried it personally, but if it works, it works! Any way of conveying runoff into the rainbarrel that works for you should be fine. The main point of gutters and downspouts is to convey runoff away from the foundation of your house and toward specific locations. If you don't need that, and you have another way of getting rainwater into the rainbarrel that works for you, go for it! You could also do a partial gutter install specifically to convey runoff from a certain part of your roof into the rainbarrel.
@@mississippiwmo thank you I saw another video this guy had rain barrel under valley catching rain and I'm like 🤔
Excellent source for ponding water for mosquitoes
yes because mosquitos can teleport threw the screen she mentioned 5 times right sir
Some areas charge a tax or fee for rain barrels because they say you're still using municipal resources
I don't kniw why I've got this in my recomendations, but I love it, and think it's very interesting
You should have shown the installation of the hose and overflow
I thought the same thing
We’re you get the screen?
It came with the rainbarrel!
Where did you purchase your rain barrel?
You can buy rainbarrels at most home centers. This particular model is available each spring through a sale run by the Recycling Association of Minnesota.
I’m the Weirdo that Loves to Rake Leaves in the Fall🤪😂🤣
I wish that our council would do their job properly and clean out the drains in my town but they won't, they are so lazy
Are mosquitos an issue?
Good question! Not if your rainbarrel has a screen like the one in our video. But if you have an open-top rainbarrel or they can reach the water some other way, then they can lay their eggs in it.
Mine has a similar screen , does that mean mosquitoes can't get through the screen?
This video is epic
I was thinking about leaving it on as mentioned before open the valve. I say this because the rain in winter can be a lot. It will travel back to the foundation and or freeze where the barrel was
Hello. Its Oleg. I subscribed on you. I like Mississippi river. And of course Mississippi river beach 🏖️🏝️ mini islands, where all resting.
quit using lawn weed killer and they come.
Ok guys we will use the lamb and save the raven 😎
The bee curl died as it was hiding behind the dry grass then there was a door matt (which now they have appoligized) then now you have only one step to get into the den 😂
Thanks for a good, clear video! That's a nice rain barrel - I like the screened-in top, and the overflow hose. Just learned something, I think - BMP? Best Management Practice? Thanks!
Every single plant will just grow back.
really get rid of that goop. don't try pushin it on through.
Yes! Important to dispose of it properly. Every city is different, so check your local requirements.

@@mississippiwmo OK
Imagine the Government knew that trick!!
This is the government lmao
why the hose in mine isnt taking water off after turning valve on?
and here it happened...people are now clogging streets on purpose to make content out of it you're going to hell for some views on youtube
💀
Don't have to create water plugs in sewers since most happen naturally. So no faking is needed.
I loved it and for you to have a something to put that mass in is a plus...I am Subbing to your channel... thanks Thanks with Love...
If you hit 1k I will donate $2
You're on.
