The Red River carries a greater sediment load than any other river in the United States.
On average, 20 cubic feet of sediment passes by every SECOND!
That’s equivalent to a bottle of water standing 600 feet tall and weighing 2,600 lbs. (1.3 Tons) every SECOND.
In a 10 minute time frame, that’s enough sediment to entirely fill a 3 bedroom house weighing 1.56 million lbs. (780 Tons).
