One cubic meter is equal to about 35.5 cubic feet.
17,000 x 35.5 = 603,500 ft3
One cubic foot is equal to 7.5 gallons.
603,500 x 7.5 = 4,526,250 gallons per second
There are 3,600 seconds in one hour.
4,526,250 x 3,600 = 16294500000 gallons an hour.
the average discharge is 680,000 gallons of water per second.
Several sources quote an annual discharge of approximately 14,000 to 17,000 cubic metres per second for the lower Mississippi. (e.g. see 'www.lexolino.de')
The average flow rate of the Mississippi River is 1.6 million gallons of water per second. There are 86,400 seconds in 24 hours, so 86,400 times 1.6 million is 138,240,000,000 gallons per day.
The average discharge is 22,500 cu ft/second.
The Nile River's average discharge is about 300 million cubic meters per day.
The Missouri River is the longest river in the United States with a length of 2,341 miles. The Mississippi River is the largest river in the U.S. with an average daily discharge of 16,792 cubic meters per second into the Gulf of Mexico.
1.6 million gallons per second
The Yukon River in Alaska is the 6th largest river in the United States. Based on average daily discharge in cubic meters per second it follows the Mississippi, St. Lawrence, Ohio, Columbia, and Niagara rivers.
The second capital was Washington, Mississippi.
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.
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 average discharge of the Amazon River is approximately 209,000 cubic meters per second (m³/s), making it the largest river in the world by discharge volume. This immense flow is responsible for draining a significant portion of South America and contributes to about one-fifth of the total river discharge into the world's oceans. The river's discharge can vary seasonally, influenced by rainfall patterns in the Amazon rainforest.
