Run-Off Characteristics of the Mississippi River Drainage Basin
Flood problems in general can be presented most satisfactorily to engineers and the interested public in the simple terms of quantities of water and capacities of channel. In such simple terms the flood problems of the Mississippi may be said to consist in determining the quantities of water to be expected in various stretches of the river and in making ample provision in channel and temporary storage capacities for conveying those quantities to the Gulf. If these problems are to be thus set forth, it is necessary that reliable continuous records of discharge be collected for the critical stretches of the Mississippi River below Cairo, Ill., and for its major tributaries. Unfortunately, such records, covering the crests of floods and showing the possibilities of their synchronization, have not been made, and this basic information is, therefore, not now available.
