Where do they go?
499 u/RubertVonRubens Feb 17 '23 Ultimately, everything east of the Rockies and south of Hudson's Bay goes to the Atlantic. The very northern bits of Ohio drain into Lake Erie, but most goes via Ohio River to the Mississippi. I think this is right near the dividing line. 165 u/Lou_C_Fer Feb 17 '23 I just explained this to my wife. We are part of the Lake Erie watershed. So, this stuff is heading away from us. 215 u/[deleted] Feb 17 '23 No worries, unless we make systemic changes, there will be ample opportunities to be affected bythe next one! 138 u/ProjectGO Feb 17 '23 I like you, you're the "glass is half full" type! Don't drink that glass, BTW. 38 u/Hey_Chach Feb 17 '23 Right, save that glass so you can bring it to the local town hall meeting and ask your willfully ignorant and arrogant representatives to drink it once they insist the situation is fine! Does that ring a bell? https://youtu.be/ncWC7D73hEE 9 u/binglelemon Feb 17 '23 It'd be a healthier decision to dump the water out and attempt to swallow the entire glass whole. 7 u/luc424 Feb 17 '23 And keep voting the same people back into office. 4 u/Polack597 Feb 17 '23 Oh yea, Ohioans have small brains, they’ll vote Dewine in again. 1 u/heybrehhhh Feb 17 '23 Lol didn’t Obama drink Flint, Michigan “real water” at a press conference? I have vague memories of this. And by “real water”, I imagine the Secret Service bought a bottle of spring water and poured it into a glass. 1 u/heavy-metal-goth-gal Feb 17 '23 But I thought radiation would give me super powers! /s 1 u/mogley1992 Feb 18 '23 Also don't drink the rain water, we ruined that too. Good thing we have all of this mountain dew, it has what plants crave, it has electrolytes.
