There is far more than just one US river. Hudson for example is: 21,400 ft³/s, Potomac is 10,810 ft³/s etc.
And the output is just mild salinity water, so you could probably extract form 1/2 the flow without causing that much environmental harm as long as you pipe the output to an area with similar salinity.

Don't worry, it won't be installed and it's not practical. Also, the delta will be submerged by rising oceans soon enough so that won't be a worry either. :^(
