"THE MISSISSIPPI - the largest river of North America, draining
with its major tributaries an area of approximately 1,200,000
square miles (3,100,000 square km), or about one-eighth of the
entire continent. It enters the Gulf through a vast delta
southeast of New Orleans, a total distance of 2,350 miles
(3,780 km) from its source.

Its annual average discharge rate is greater than 600,000 cubic
feet per second (17,000 cubic m per sec), less than one-tenth
that of the Amazon River and only about half that of
the Congo River."
