The Mississippi is the largest river in the United States and North America, one of the largest rivers in the world. It originates in Lake Itasca, Minnesota, and flows into the Gulf of Mexico 150 kilometers from New Orleans, Louisiana. The main course of the river passes through ten states of the United States, and the Mississippi basin with tributaries is located in the territory of thirty-one states, from the Rocky Mountains in the west to the Appalachians in the east. The Mississippi is the fourth longest (with the Missouri) and the fifteenth most flowing river in the world.
The main tributaries of the Mississippi are the Missouri, Arkansas, Red River (right); Ohio and Des Moines (left). The longest of the Mississippi’s tributaries is the Missouri, the second longest is the Arkansas. The most full-flowing tributary of the Mississippi is the Ohio River.
The widest point of the Mississippi River is Winnibigoshish Lake in Minnesota, where the river spills for about eleven kilometers.
The river is divided into the upper Mississippi (from the source to the confluence of the Ohio River) and the lower Mississippi (from the confluence of the Ohio to the mouth).
Mississippi is prone to periodic flooding, in the 20th century the floods that occurred in 1927 and 1993 led to disastrous consequences.
The Columbia River is the largest river in the northwestern United States and the deepest river on the Pacific coast of America. In some years, Columbia even exceeds the Mississippi in terms of runoff. Many hydroelectric power plants have been built on the Columbia River (including the largest in the United States – Grand Coulee in Washington State), due to the large volume of water and the elevation difference, there are excellent conditions for generating electricity.
The Colorado River, flowing in the southwestern United States and flowing into the Gulf of California of the Pacific Ocean, forms the famous Grand Canyon (Grand Canyon). In Colorado, in the thirties of the XX century, the world-famous Hoover Dam was built.
The most full-flowing (with the highest water flow) rivers of the United States of America are the Mississippi, Ohio, the St. Lawrence River, Columbia and Yukon.
