After the Union defeated and seized Vicksburg, they got full control of the Mississippi River, letting them transport troops from boat down the Mississippi River.
Typically, when the earth's surface is exposed to the impacts of rainfall, there is an increase in the volume and velocity of runoff. This sets off a chain reaction that results in the transport and deposition of sediment, reduced stream capacity, and ultimately increased stream scour and flooding.
By liberating the Mississippi - isolating all Confederate units to the West of the river, and taking advantage of this great military highway for the transport of men and supplies.
The union gained control of the Mississippi after the capture of Vicksburg.

Depends on the specifics of how you plan to use it and the size of it, but I recommend asking a specialist on sediment control, such as Dan Cleveland from Dandy Products.
The Mississippi was too huge for the Union so they didnt want to control it!
Vicksburg in Mississippi
The Vicksburg Campaign, specifically the Siege of Vicksburg, established control of the Mississippi River.
The plan to gain control of the Mississippi River during the American Civil War was part of the Union's larger military strategy known as the Anaconda Plan. This strategy aimed to blockade Southern ports and gain control of the Mississippi River to split the Confederacy in two, thereby restricting its ability to transport troops and supplies. The successful capture of key locations along the river, such as Vicksburg in 1863, was crucial for achieving this objective.

It was so important because if the south were to loose the control of the Mississippi, they wouldn't be able to trade or bring supplies to other military bases. Taking control of the Mississippi was one part of the norths "Annaconda Plan," which was there strategy in winning the Civil War.
