Fact
old mississippi River
Speed: At the headwaters of the Mississippi, the average surface speed of the water is near 1.2 miles per hour - roughly one-third as fast as people walk. At New Orleans, on 2/24/2003, the speed of the river was 3 miles per hour. Length: River length is a difficult measurement to pin down because the river channel is constantly changing. For example, staff at Itasca State Park, the Mississippi's headwaters, say the Mississippi is 2,552 miles long. The US Geologic Survey has published a number of 2,300 miles (3,705 kilometers), the EPA says it is 2,320 miles long, and the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area maintains its length at 2,350 miles.
Width: At Lake Itasca, the river is between 20-30 feet wide. The Mississippi is widest just downstream from its confluence with the Missouri River (near Alton, Il.) where it is nearly 1 mile across.

Tip
ways to use colored rubber bands
Identify a bottle: Wrap a rubber band around a shampoo bottle and you'll be able to tell it's not conditioner, even if you eyes are filled with suds.
Neaten thread: Keep spools of thread from unraveling by wrapping them with a rubber band.
Hold a lid: Prevent a potluck disaster-secure the lid of the dish by stretching a band over the top.
Grip a tool: Wrap a rubber band around the handle of a hammer or screwdriver for a firmer grip.
Extend your pants: Look a rubber band through the button hole and secure the other side to the
button for an extra half-inch of breathing room.
