Thanks I needed that, although it’s incorrect. For NE Ms it follows the the original river path rather than going straight down the waterway. Most all those old river runs are damned at the north end to prevent water flowing through them and washing sediment into the channel.
We've come a looong way when I would visit ebaum's world when I pretended to work as an intern.
The person that tweeted it had someone reply that on their farm in southern missouri one of his fields drained south and went into the white river going south through Arkansas to the Mississippi River and the field literally across the road drained north and went into the Meremec River and flowed northeast back to St Louis and into the Mississippi there.
I wonder if ever sends a drop down the Atchafalaya at Old River Control Structure, instead of to the mouth of the Mississippi?
Never paid attention that the ski resorts in Utah drain into the Great Salt Lake and there is no outlet. Pretty much the northern half of Utah and NE Nevada have landlocked seas that they drain into.
I remember looking at a watershed map of MS one time and basically the water on one side of the Kroger parking lot in Madison goes to the Mississippi River, and the water on the other side goes to the Pearl River.
Not to derail the thread, but less and less of the mountain snow is making it back down to the Salt Lake, and it is at an alarmingly low level. It's an overpopulation issue. The people are using more water than they have. As the lake level drops, less and less snow will form on the mountains, making the problem worse, as there will be less runoff to refill the lake. Then more and more heavy metals from the lake will be released into the air, making SLC unliveable.
It's a serious environmental crisis that everyone in that area is aware of, but no one is doing anything about.
This has a fair number of flaws. Honestly I am surprised it was released to the public as is. For example It didn't recognize the change from Alabama River to Mobile River. I couldn't get it to ever pick the Tensaw River at the split. For some reason it says everything going out the Mobile River ends in Justin's Bay. Which is just laughable.
Then I tried the Conecuh River. I missed it becoming the Escambia River, and skipped Escambia Bay before it got to the Gulf of Mexico.

I think the whole programming is based off of topo mapping the terrain and doesn’t take into account changes based on structural factors.
Wait!! Something on the internet isn't 100 % accurate??
