The falls ceased to exist in 1982 when they were inundated by the impoundment of the Itaipu Dam reservoir. While published figures vary, ranging from 13,000 m 3 (470,000 cu ft) per second [1] to 50,000 m 3 (1,750,000 cu ft) per second, [2] Guaíra's flow rate was among the greatest of any then-existing falls on Earth.
The overflow transports around 3.2 million m 3 (110 million cu ft) of water per second, greatly eclipsing the discharge of the Amazon River into the Atlantic Ocean and the flow rate of the former Guaíra Falls. [1] [2] The descending column of water is approximately 200 m (660 ft) wide and 200 m (660 ft) thick and descends over a length of ...
This list of waterfalls by flow rate includes all waterfalls which are known to have an average flow rate or discharge of at least 150 cubic metres per second (5,300 cu ft/s). The waterfalls in this list are those for which there is verifiable information, and the list should not be assumed to be a complete list of waterfalls which would ...
Jog Falls is listed as having over 150 m^3/s flow rate, but I find this shaky at best as most pictures clearly don't have that much. Paulo Afonso Falls only runs even close to its listed 2.8k during water discharges, and I have my doubts about the listed flow rates for the Great Falls of the Missouri, especially Rainbow Falls.

It is equivalent to 40 times the average flow of the nearby natural Iguaçu Falls. The flow of two generators (700 cubic metres per second (25,000 cu ft/s) each) is roughly equivalent to the average flow of the Iguaçu Falls (1,500 cubic metres per second (53,000 cu ft/s)). The dam is 196 metres (643 ft) high, equivalent to a 65-story building.
Stora Sjöfallet National Park – 40 m (130 ft); once one of the most powerful in Europe; however, after construction of the Suorva Dam, the flow rate decreased from an average of 160 m 3 /s to 6 m 3 /s; Storforsen – 35 m (115 ft) high, largest waterfall in Sweden by flow rate, average flow rate 250 m 3 /s, around 870 m 3 /s in summer.

Foz do Iguaçu/Cataratas International Airport (IATA: IGU, ICAO: SBFI), is the airport serving Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil. It is named after the Iguazu Falls ( Portuguese : Cataratas do Iguaçu ) and provides air-connections to the falls located at Iguaçu National Park , and to Itaipu Dam .
