Beginning May 20, DI photojournalist Ryan Adams took off on a 20-day expedition of the 329-mile Iowa River to provide insight into issues of water quality within the state.

Along the way, Adams will conduct nitrate tests of the water and speak with local farmers, Iowa citizens, and those along the riverbanks to understand how Iowans view the issue.
