The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 was primarily caused by a combination of excessive rainfall in the spring of that year and the melting of snow in the northern regions. The Mississippi River and its tributaries were overwhelmed by the unprecedented volume of water, leading to severe flooding. Additionally, the existing levee system, which was designed to control the river's flow, was inadequate and failed in many areas, exacerbating the disaster. Human activities, such as deforestation and agricultural practices, also contributed to increased runoff and soil erosion, further worsening the flood's impact.
