The Mississippi River System, also referred to as the Western Rivers, is a mostly riverine network of the United States which includes the Mississippi River and connecting waterways. The Mississippi River is the largest drainage basin in the United States. In the United States, the Mississippi drains about fifty-nine percent of the country's rivers. The Mississippi River carries 60% of U.S. grain shipments, 22% of oil and gas shipments, and 20% of coal.

  • The Mississippi River System, also referred to as the Western Rivers, is a mostly riverine network of the United States which includes the Mississippi River and connecting waterways. The Mississippi River is the largest drainage basin in the United States. In the United States, the Mississippi drains about fifty-nine percent of the country's rivers. From the perspective of natural geography and hydrology, the system consists of the Mississippi River itself and its numerous natural tributaries and distributaries. The major tributaries are the Arkansas, Illinois, Missouri, Ohio and Red rivers. Given their flow volumes, major Ohio River tributaries like the Allegheny, Tennessee, and Wabash rivers are considered important tributaries to the Mississippi system. Before the Mississippi River reaches the Gulf of Mexico, it runs into its distributary, the Atchafalaya River. From the perspective of modern commercial navigation, the system includes the above as well as navigable inland waterways which are connected by artificial means. Important connecting waterways include the Illinois Waterway, the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. This system of waterways is maintained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with a project depth of between 9–12 ft (2.7–3.7 m) to accommodate barge transportation, primarily of bulk commodities. The Mississippi River carries 60% of U.S. grain shipments, 22% of oil and gas shipments, and 20% of coal. (en)
  • Le bassin hydrographique du Mississippi est le plus grand d'Amérique du Nord et le troisième du monde, derrière celui de l'Amazone et du Congo. Sa superficie totale est de 3 238 000 km2, soit un tiers du territoire américain et plus de six fois celui de la France métropolitaine. Le bassin-versant du Mississippi se trouve dans 31 États américains et deux provinces canadiennes. Il est divisé en six sous-bassins, qui correspondent aux cours inférieur et supérieur, ainsi qu'aux affluents les plus longs : le Missouri (4,370 km), l'Arkansas, l'Ohio, etc. Enfin, la plaine inondable du système fluvial mesure environ 90,000 km2. Plus de 72 millions de personnes vivent dans le bassin du Mississippi, soit un Américain sur quatre. (fr)
