Yes, of course, anything that helps
Cool. Sorry for the late response.
It's about this calc. Specifically digging out the Missippi River in one blow. (I know I've brought this up before, but it might yield some good results).

It doesn't actually use the total volume of the Mississippi River, far from it.
According the US National Park Service, 16,792 meters^3 refers to the amount of water poured into the Gulf of Mexico per second (https://www.nps.gov/miss/riverfacts... Mississippi,7,380,765 cubic feet) per second), not the total volume of the river.
The river itself has a total length of over 2300 miles. (https://www.nps.gov/miss/riverfacts.htm#:~:text=The%20US%20Geologic%20Survey%20has,river's%20length%20is%202%2C350%20miles.)
The river varies in width from 20 - 30 feet at its narrowest to 11 miles at its widest.
(https://www.nps.gov/miss/riverfacts.htm#:~:text=Width,is wider than 11 miles.)
The watershed size is estimated to have an area of around 3.2 million km^2 (though, I don't how relevant to the calc that is). (https://www.nps.gov/miss/riverfacts...er drains an,of the continental United States.)
I don't know what the actual volume of water is, but it is significantly higher than what the calc uses.
And yes, the NPS uses metric for volume and imperial for distances in this article (except they used metric for the lengths of rivers from other countries, so I don't know what's going on here).
