Just to get started; From the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers at Cairo, Illinois, the slope is approximately 1 feet of fall for every 19000 feet of river. This was calculated by taking the elevation change of the river from Cairo to the gulf, 279 feet, and dividing it by the river length, 980 miles. This equals 279 feet/(980miles x 5280 feet/mile) = a slope of 0.000054 ft/ft. Nick the Geomorphologist
