Lower Mississippi Region Comprehensive Study. Appendix S. Sediment and Erosion.
Abstract
The purpose of this appendix is to make an appraisal of existing and potential sediment and erosion problems in the Lower Mississippi Region and to provide information about the destructive forces of sediment and erosion on one of the most important and widespread resources in the region - the land. The area within the boundaries of the Lower Mississippi Region exceeds 65 million acres. While some water and land problems and needs in this vast area relate to the entire region, many are too complex to attempt a solution on a regional basis. To provide a practical basis for plan formulation, the region was subdivided into 10 hydrologic areas which are referred to as water resource planning areas (WRPA's).
