A Life on the Banks

From her earliest days growing up on the banks of a dammed lake in Arkansas, to her current role as an authority on healthy rivers, Jo Beth Mullens has always been drawn to water. Today, Jo Beth is a professor at Keene State College and a researcher into river ecosystems, the effects of pollution and human activity on rivers, and our perceptions about water quality. She talks about her favorite rivers, her time in the Czech Republic, and her efforts to help clean up the Ashuelot River.
