how deep is the mississippi river at memphis?

Question

Thanks for the website, it was just what i was looking for. For some reason i can't find where to post a reply, so this will have to do.
But could you also tell me how high the natural banks of the river are above the riverbed?

Answer 1

it varies, depending on rainfall, temperature, etc. Here's a current chart. It's about 17 feet deep there right now.
