Zusammenfassung:	This Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) summarizes research about the sediment data of the Lower Mississippi River and its tributaries in support of the project Mississippi River Sediment Availability Study (MRSAS) Considering Sensitivity to Climate Change Effects on River Water Discharge. The MRSAS involves exploring a sensitivity range of river water discharge linked to climate change effects, such as changing watershed precipitation patterns and sea level rise. The goal is demonstrating a capability for prognosticating long-term variability and uncertainty in river suspended sediment availability to support investigation of large-scale sediment diversion alternative tradeoffs in coastal Louisiana, considering resource limitations. This CHETN presents an inventory of the sediment data available from different sources and reports, including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Districts, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Technical Reports (Thorne et al. 2008, 2001; Demas and Curwick 1987).
