Description: Natural-colour image of muddy water near Hamburg, Iowa. Sediment-choked water lingers on large swaths of land. Several roads, including Interstate 29, dip below the water, and to the east of the Interstate, the standing water is darker in color. The stark earthen line separating Hamburg from the dark-colored flood water is probably a levee.
