WASHING AWAY THE LAND Erosion of U S drainage basins
Investigations by the United States Geological Survey show U S drainage basins eroding at about an inch in 760 years. The Mississippi carries 136,400,000 tons of dissolved matter and 340,500,000 tons of suspended matter annually. the Ohio and Missouri contribute large portions, while the Colorado yields the most suspended matter per square mile. River systems transport 783,000,000 tons of erosive material to tidewater each year, equating to hundreds of millions of cubic yards of rock and soil. If concentrated on the Panama Isthmus during early American occupation, the effort could have carved an eighty-five foot level canal in about seventy-three days.
