The Father of Waters Carries Down Land Across Delta
The Mississippi has moved vast soil over ages, creating 400,000 square miles of new land by filling estuaries from its source to the Gulf. It pours 862,000,000 tons of sediment annually, enough to build a square mile of land yearly, with some material traveling over 3,000 miles. The river’s delta spans about 1,200 miles, continually eroding and rebuilding land as it snakes toward the sea.
