Hydrographic survey performed by the U.S. Army Corps of eng.neers (USACE), on the 350 miles of Mississippi river is discussed. It is observed that the river loses velocity, dropping silt, sand and sediment at each of its mouth. USACE uses differential global positioning system (DGPS), computer aided design (CAD), geospatial, wireless and internet technologies to preprocess survey data in the field. The survey data is helpful in dredging operations on the lower Mississippi to ensure navigable waterways.
