Rivers with an average discharge of 5,000 m 3 /s or greater, as a fraction of the estimated global total. This article lists rivers by their average discharge measured in descending order of their water flow rate. Here, only those rivers whose discharge is more than 2,000 m 3 /s (71,000 cu ft/s) are shown. It can be thought of as a list of the ...
The Sacramento and San Joaquin River systems drain the western slope of the Sierra Nevada and most of the Central Valley, forming the Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta before emptying into Suisun Bay; together, they are the largest river system in California.
All rivers with average discharge more than 15,000 cubic feet per second are listed. Estimates are approximate, because data are variable with time period measured and also because many rivers lack a gauging station near their point of outflow.
Among the longest rivers of Canada are 47 streams of at least 600 km (370 mi). In the case of some rivers such as the Columbia, the length listed in the table below is solely that of the main stem. In the case of others such as the Mackenzie, it is the combined lengths of the main stem and one or more upstream tributaries, as noted.

With an average flow at the mouth of about 3,475 cubic metres per second (122,700 cu ft/s), [16] the Fraser is the largest river by discharge flowing into the Pacific seaboard of Canada and the fifth largest in the country. [17] The average flow is highly seasonal; summer discharge rates can be ten times larger than the flow during the winter. [17]
