3.19% of Alabama is water, making Alabama 23rd in the amount of surface water, also giving it the second largest inland waterway system in the United States (Alabama is the 30th largest state in the United States with 135,775 km2 (52,423 mi2) of total area.). Roughly 3/5 of the land is a slight plain inclining towards the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico.
