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.

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.

Around 1.3 million gallons of water were pouring over the dam each second at 11 p.m., according to the Tennessee Valley Authority. The peak daily water flow of Niagara Falls is around 700,000 ...
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.
