 Greatest Waterfalls
GREATEST WATERFALLS*
Compiled by Chilman Sahni
The flow of many waterfalls varies according to the season, and some have been reduced by building dams to harness their power for hydroelectric plants. The flow of the Boyoma waterfall is equivalent to 17 million litres a second- enough to fill more than 140, 000 baths per second, or enough for every person on Earth to have two baths a day!
WATERFALL COUNTRY AVERAGE FLOW (m3/sec)
- Boyoma (Stanley) Dem. Rep. of Congo 17,000
- Khône# Laos 11,330
- Niagara (Horseshoe) Canada 5,830
- Grande Uruguay 4,500
- Paulo Afonso Brazil 2,800
*Based on volume of water
# Also the world’s widest waterfall at 10.8km
