Depends on the location, and time of year one is sampling from. There is no best answer to this question. You can google "Water-Quality Requirements, Tolerances, and Preferences of the Pallid Sturgeon" to see a study completed in 2011 that has some of this information in it.

How long is the Mississippi Missouri river?

The Mississippi river is considered the largest river system in North America. Some sources reference it as the longest as well, at 2340 miles (3765 km) long. Others claim this length for the Missouri River and list the Mississippi as only 2320 miles (3730 km) in defined length. Both are subjective based on the definition of the tributaries used (especially with the Missouri, where the reported length can vary from 2320 to 2540 miles!).

Taken together, the Jefferson/Missouri and the Mississippi form the longest river system in North America. If measured from the source of the Jefferson at Brower's Spring (Montana), to the Gulf of Mexico, the length of the Mississippi-Missouri-Jefferson combination is approximately 3,900 miles (6,300 km). This makes it the 3rd longest river system in the world. The length of the Mississippi River is 6,084 km or 3,781 miles.

Why does dakotas four main cities lie on the Missouri river or red river of the north?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

First of all, not all of the main cities in the Dakotas are located on the Missouri River or the Red River.

The largest city in the Dakotas, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, is located on the Big Sioux River. Sioux Falls is located there because the people who settled the area needed water. The same would be for Rapid City, South Dakota and Minot, North Dakota.

Fargo, North Dakota is located on the Red River of the North, again, because the settlers needed water to survive and to plant crops.

Bismarck, North Dakota, Pierre, South Dakota, and Yankton, South Dakota, are all located on the Missouri River. At the time these three cities were settled, rivers and waterways were a main means of transportation. The Missouri River provided transportation for people and supplies to the Dakotas along with the water needed for daily living.
