OT: Tracking rainfall runoff

[Ozarkdawg]

Some time ago someone here posted a link to a site that allows you to track where a raindrop flows after hitting the ground in the US as it flows to the ocean. Really neat site. https://river-runner.samlearner.com/

Does anyone know a link to find the full area that drains into a specific river / creek? Or does a thing exist?
IE, If I pick a river, it shows on a map the area that drains specifically into it? Pearl River, Tallahatchie River, Bear Creek
That data has to be what is built into the River Runner site.

Thanks. That's helpful. The downside on this one is it breaks up tributaries into their own separate area. I'll keep tinkering with it and see if I can find a way to string multiple sections together.

All I know is every creek, stream, small rivers run into either Pearl River or Miss River in Mississippi. Those two run into the gulf.

From 20 south and west of 49ish drains to the gulf via the Pascagoula River watershed.

I thought the Leaf runs into the Pascagoula and the Pascagoula runs into the Gulf

Except those that run into the Tombigbee, Escatawpa, Pascagoola, or directly into Gulf adjacent waters.

The site you are looking for is USGS Streamstats. It's only full functional in Mississippi and Alabama so far.

I don't know about all those Lower Miss Water Shed.*********

Thanks. I'll check it out.

Theres a ridge between Iuka and Tishomingo. Ironically, water falling on the west side runs into the Tenn-Tom. Water falling on the east side runs into Bear creek, then tenn river before making it to Ky and into the Miss River.

A Mississippi rivers trivia tidbit. The 6 largest (or longest, not sure) rivers in the state supply the names for the 6 streets that run east-west on either side of Capitol Street from the Old State Capitol in Jackson.

Tombigbee, Pascagoula, Pearl, Amite, Yazoo, Mississippi

What you know ain't so.

 

[PCHSDawg]

Some more trivia, the Pascagoula River watershed is the largest river system in the lower 48 without a dam on a major tributary. I recently finished my goal of kayaking the larger streams in the watershed which included over 700 river miles of paddling.

In my part of Miss it does. What you do where you live is what you do.*****

Mississippi River and it’s tributaries

In NC, there are signs on the highway whenever you cross into a different basin. I.e. ”Entering Cape Fear River Basin” etc..

interesting that a drop of rain, in Boone, NC makes its way north into WV via the New River, into the Ohio, around N. KY and eventually into the MS.

Was about to say the Tombigbee drains a pretty significant portion also.

You're a military dude. Was it common to get away with that kind of brazen lack of specificity in your days of gruntdom???***

You had zone of operation and that is all you were concern with. You know your priority and what assets was available to your zone. As far as what I said, it was a joke. I thought it would be obvious that not every stream, creek and rivers in Mississippi runs into the Pearl or Miss River. That would be impossible.

I had never made this association. Genius.

Another piece of watershed trivia. Water falling on the west side of U.S. 51 in Madison across from the Kroger goes to the Mississippi River via the Big Black. Water falling on the east side in the Kroger parking lot goes to the Pearl River.

What about all the raindrops that are absorbed in the ground and don't go to a river? What happens to them, wiseguy?!?***

They get absorbed...

They travel through the ground as groundwater until they reemerge as surface water.
