Question: What is the direction of flow of the body of water by the city where Write This Down was formed?

<P0-S0> Write This Down is an American Christian rock band from Minneapolis, Minnesota. <P0-S1> Formed in 2005, the band consists of vocalists and guitarists Nate Rockwell and Mike Kuwica, bassist Nick Lombardo and drummer Chad Nichols. <P0-S2> Their music has been featured on Internet-based radio stations, receiving regular rotation on RadioU and ChristianRock.Net. <P0-S3> On May 10, 2010, their album, "Write This Down", peaked at No. <P0-S4> 45 on "Billboard's" Christian Albums chart. <SEP> <P1-S0> Minneapolis lies on both banks of the Mississippi River, just north of the river's confluence with the Minnesota River, and adjoins Saint Paul, the state's capital. <P1-S1> The city is abundantly rich in water, with 13 lakes, wetlands, the Mississippi River, creeks and waterfalls; many connected by parkways in the Chain of Lakes and the Grand Rounds National Scenic Byway. <P1-S2> It was once the world's flour milling capital and a hub for timber. <P1-S3> The city and surrounding region is the primary business center between Chicago and Seattle. <P1-S4> As of 2018, Minneapolis was home to 6 Fortune 500 companies, and the Twin Cities were the fifth-largest hub of major corporate headquarters in the United States. <P1-S5> As an integral link to the global economy, Minneapolis is categorized as a global city. <SEP> <P2-S0> The Mississippi River is the chief river of the second - largest drainage system on the North American continent, second only to the Hudson Bay drainage system. <P2-S1> Flowing entirely in the United States (although its drainage basin reaches into Canada), it rises in northern Minnesota and meanders slowly southwards for 2,320 miles (3,730 km) to the Mississippi River Delta at the Gulf of Mexico. <P2-S2> With its many tributaries, the Mississippi's watershed drains all or parts of 31 U.S. states and 2 Canadian provinces between the Rocky and Appalachian Mountains. <P2-S3> The Mississippi ranks as the fourth - longest and fifteenth - largest river in the world by discharge. <P2-S4> The river either borders or passes through the states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana. <SEP> <P3-S0> the peak flow over horseshoe falls was recorded at 225,000 cubic feet (6,400 m) per second. <P3-S1> the average annual flow rate is 85,000 cubic feet (2,400 m) per second. <P3-S2> since the flow is a direct function of the lake erie water elevation, it typically peaks in late spring or early summer. <P3-S3> during the summer months, at least 100,000 cubic feet (2,800 m) per second of water traverses the falls, some 90% of which goes over the horseshoe falls, while the balance is diverted to hydroelectric facilities. <P3-S4> this is accomplished by employing a weir -- the international control dam -- with movable gates upstream from the horseshoe falls. <P3-S5> the falls' flow is further halved at night, and, during the low tourist season in the winter, remains a minimum of 50,000 cubic feet (1,400 m) per second. <P3-S6> water diversion is regulated by the 1950 niagara treaty and is administered by the international niagara board of control (ijc). <SEP> <P4-S0> the flow of cold, gray mountain water continues for some distance into the lake. <P4-S1> the cold water flows near the surface and at first doesn't mix with the warmer, green waters of upper lake. <P4-S2> but then, at the so-called rheinbrech, the rhine water abruptly falls into the depths because of the greater density of cold water. <P4-S3> the flow reappears on the surface at the northern (german) shore of the lake, off the island of lindau. <P4-S4> the water then follows the northern shore until hagnau am bodensee. <P4-S5> a small fraction of the flow is diverted off the island of mainau into lake überlingen. <P4-S6> most of the water flows via the constance hopper into the rheinrinne ("rhine gutter") and seerhein. <P4-S7> depending on the water level, this flow of the rhine water is clearly visible along the entire length of the lake.
