Excerpt from The Mississippi River: Testimony of General Comstock and Engineers Kingman, Leach, Suter, Flad, Richardson, Dabney, Thompson, Starling, and Others, Given Before the Commerce Committee, U. S. Senate, May 13 and 14, 1890 It may be well to give some examples of this general fact. The South Pass carried in 1875 about one-fourth of the water that the Southwest Pass did. Its slope from the Head of the Passes to its original bar was about one-third greater than that of the Southwest Pass. Excerpt from The Mississippi River: Testimony of General Comstock and Engineers Kingman, Leach, Suter, Flad, Richardson, Dabney, Thompson, Starling, and Others, Given Before the Commerce Committee, U. S. Senate, May 13 and 14, 1890 It may be well to give some examples of this general fact. The South Pass carried in 1875 about one-fourth of the water that the Southwest Pass did. Its slope from the Head of the Passes to its original bar was about one-third greater than that of the Southwest Pass. The observed discharges of the Atchafalaya in 1882 were from one-seventh to one-tenth of those of the Mississippi. Its average slope to the Gulf is double that of the Mississippi. The Sulina Pass in the delta of the Danube carries two-twenty-sevenths of the total river flow, while the St. George Pass carries eight-twenty-sevenths. The slope of the Sulina is one-half greater than that of the St. George Pass. These examples are sufficient to illustrate the general rule already stated, that sedimentary rivers flowing in their own alluvion take larger slopes the smaller they are. Hence, if at Lake Borgne or elsewhere in its delta the Mississippi were divided into two rivers, since each would be smaller than the present river, the two new rivers would go to work to obtain the new and steeper slopes suited to dimensions smaller than those of the original river, and hence would build up their beds. This process would only cease when the steeper slopes needed by each were obtained. Since both rivers would then have one end at the Gulf, and have steeper slopes up to their point of divergence than the main river now has, the flood surface of the rivers at that point would be higher than now. There have been cases where the experiment of dividing a river in two has been tried by nature or by man. About A. D. 1438 the Adige broke its levees and poured its waters south into the Castagnoro and Canale Bianco, which then formed a drainage stream parallel to the Po. In 1545 the break had so increased that two-thirds of the low-water flow of the Adige and three-fourths of the highwater flow went through it. A low dam was built across the Castagnoro to check the flow into it, and both rivers raised their beds. In 1678 a new dam was built, as the old one was then buried in the deposit. The bed still rose. In 1791 a masonry dam 39 feet high, with many archways through it to allow floods to pass, was built across the Castagnoro. The bed continued to rise, and the floods on the Adige were so high that in 1838 the Castagnoro was permanently closed. In the six years following the closure, the floods in the Adige fell, and the more markedly the nearer the point considered was to the Castagnoro. Thus far only outlets have been considered which are permanent rivers. For such outlets the effect in finally raising the flood surface of the main river will be the greater as the flow of the outlet is more nearly equal to the remaining flow in the main river. If the outlet is small, its effect on the main river will be small. Places where there is no escape except at high stages are sometimes called outlets.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Red River, or sometimes The Red River of the South, is a major tributary of the Mississippi and Atchafalaya Rivers located in the United States of America. The river gains its name from the red-clay farmland of its watershed. It is one of several rivers with that name. The Red River is the second largest river basin in the southern Great Plains. It rises in two branches (forks) in the Texas Panhandle and flows east, where it acts as the border between present-day states of Texas and Oklahoma. It is a short border between Texas and Arkansas before entering Arkansas, turning south near Fulton, Arkansas and flowing into Louisiana. The total length of the river is 1,360 miles (2,190 km).
