Overview
Missouri River
The Missouri River is the longest North American river when the Red Rock River is considered as a portion of the Missouri. It rises in the heart of the Rocky Mountains and flows 4368km to join the Mississippi in mid-continent, near St. Louis. The Missouri and Mississippi together stretch 6254km.

Uses of the river
The river was mostly used for recreation, tourism and source of energy to communities and industries along the river. Many National Parks along the river and dams on the river had causing tourism and recreation to be one of the key attractions.

Problem of the river
Earning its nickname ‘Big Muddy’, an approximately 200,000,000 tons of silt was dumped into the Mississippi annually causing goods transportation on the river difficult. Another problem was the often flooding along the river for example the recent flooding on 14th July.
