 The downstream part of this river is sediment-starved, which would be the same case in the Cape Fear River.

 The Mississippi doesn't carry as much sediment as it used to. There's something like 1,300, 1,400 dams on the Mississippi. All that sediment is being trapped behind those dams. In the long-term scheme of things, we're going to have to reactivate that sediment.
