How the River Lowers the surfaes Of
the Land 1t Drains.
The Missouri is the muddiest river In
the Mississippi valley. 1t carries more
silt than any other large river III the
United States except possibly the Rio
Grunde and the Colorado. For every
square mile Of country drained it car
ries downstream 3s1 tons Of dissolved
and suspended matter each year. In
other words. the river gathers annual
II from. the country that 1t drains
more thar l22.co0.0OO tens OF silt and
soluble matter. some Of which 1t dis
tributes over the food plains below to
form productive agricultural lands.
but most Of which finds its way at last
to the gulf Of Mexico.
1t is by means Of data Of this kind
that biologists compute the rate at
which the lands are being eroded way.
1t has been shown that the Missouri
river is lowering the surface of the
land drained by It at the rate Of foot
In 6.036 years. The surface Of the
United States al whole Ia now being
worn down at the rate Of foot In
0.1oO years.
It has been estimated that II this
erosive action Of the streams of the
United States could have been concen-
trated on the isthmus Of Panama 1t
would have dug in seventy-three days
