This is a watershed moment.

And virtually the Mississippi is navigable. That’s a lot of water ways

What’s with the landlocked watersheds? Where does that water go?

The largest endorheic basin in the US is the Great Salt Lake.

And where do those lakes go?

If only there was a known process for water to move from a liquid to a gaseous state, rising until it cools into a liquid again, and falls back to the Earth to start the cycle anew...

I've read where they think some interior lakes drain through caves into the Ocean.

Interesting fact...Texas doesnt have one natural lake.

Natural lakes have been a rare commodity in Texas. In fact, the state had only one natural lake, Caddo Lake in East Texas, that was formed by a log jam. A permanent dam was installed at the lake in the early 20th century

That's the case for most of the South. Nearly every single one is due to damming.

Pretty cool, crazy to see how big the Mississippi drainage is vs everything else.
Also crazy to consider the impact of the Colorado and it supplying water for our massive desert cities out west

A little misleading seeing as how the Chicago River connects Lake Michigan with the Mississippi.
I always chuckle when I’m teaching my students about La Salle claiming the entire Mississippi basin for France.

What the hell happened to the borders of Michigan and Wisconsin

Water evaporates and the lake gets salty, e.g. The Great Salt Lake.
