The Mississippi River floods periodically, with significant floods occurring roughly every few years, although the frequency can vary based on weather patterns and upstream conditions. Major floods have been recorded, such as those in 1927, 1937, and 1993, while smaller floods can happen more frequently during heavy rain events or spring snowmelt. Flood control measures, such as levees and reservoirs, are in place to mitigate flooding, but they can still occur, particularly in sections of the river prone to high water. Overall, the river's flooding is influenced by a combination of natural and human factors.
