The great Mississippi tops list of most endangered rivers amid fears over Trump rollbacks

Cuts to disaster agency and deregulation of fossil fuels, plus rise of water-guzzling datacentres, highlighted in new report

The Trump administration's sweeping cuts to the federal climate disaster agency - and the full-throttle deregulation of fossil fuels and water-guzzling datacentres - could prove catastrophic for America's endangered rivers, threatening the food, water and livelihoods of millions of people, according to a new report.

American Rivers' annual most-endangered rivers list lays bare a myriad of human-made threats including floods, drought and other extreme weather events driven by the climate crisis, as well as industrial pollution and poor river management - all of which Trump's regulatory rollbacks will almost inevitably make worse.
