At the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers, the Missouri River carries more water. Generally, the Missouri River has a larger discharge volume compared to the Mississippi at this point due to its longer length and larger watershed area. This makes the Missouri an important tributary to the Mississippi, contributing significantly to its flow.
volume of its discharge
The Mississippi River is the largest river in North America in terms of volume of water flowing in it. The Missouri River is the longest river in N.A., but is behind the Ohio River in the volume of water that it contributes to the Mississippi River.

The average discharge is 22,500 cu ft/second.

Increasing the steepness of the river's bed will have no direct effect on the size of the discharge of a stream. Discharge is primarily influenced by the volume of water flowing in the river. Steepness may impact the speed of the water flow and erosion processes, but it won't directly affect discharge size.
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.
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. The Missouri River is the ninth largest river of the United States, after the Mississippi, St. Lawrence, Ohio, Columbia, Niagara, Yukon, Detroit, and St. Clair.
The Amazon in South America has the highest volume of water.
