The Mississippi River rises out of Lake Itasca in northern Minnesota and flows southward for 2,320 miles to the Mississippi River Delta at the Gulf of Mexico.
The Mississippi River discharges approximately 200,000 cubic feet per second into the Gulf of Mexico. This translates to about 14 million gallons of water flowing out of the Mississippi River Delta every minute, equating to around 20 billion gallons per day. This immense flow plays a crucial role in shaping the delta's ecosystems and influencing regional water quality.
