drainage in the Mississippi Basin is one of the great advances of the 19th and
20th centuries, allowing highly productive agriculture in what was once land
too wet to farm. In fact, installation of new tile systems continues every
year, because it leads to increased crop yields. But a recent study shows that
the most heavily tile-drained areas of North America are also the largest
contributing source of nitrate to the Gulf of Mexico, leading to seasonal
hypoxia. In the summer of 2010 this dead zone in the gulf spanned over 7,000
square miles.
