The Mississippi or the great river is the second longest river in the United States. It flows through Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois and Missouri in the US.
The river originates from Lake Itasca 450 meters above sea level and empties into the Gulf of Mexico, distance between the two is 3,733 km, and the process takes approximately ninety days. It's divided in 2 sections the Upper Mississippi and the Lower Mississippi. Upper Mississippi is sub divided into headwaters, man made lakes and free flowing rivers and also consists of 29 locks and dams.
The Mississippi is commercially one of the most exploited water bodies on the face of the planet. The river is still very important from an agricultural viewpoint. More than ninety per cent of America's agricultural exports are from the Mississippi basin. Nearly 80 per cent of the worlds exported food grains are grown in the same basin.
