² Median of the 60 yearly mean streamflows for the period 1938-1997 at Vicksburg. The discharge is probably even higher further downstream at Natchez, but data for Natchez could not be found. Further downstream from Natchez, approximately 25 percent of the water discharge of the Mississippi is diverted into the Atchafalaya River, and further discharge is lost as the river becomes a delta in Louisiana.
