The average flow rate at the mouth of the Amazon is sufficient to fill more than 83 such pools each second. The estimated global total for all rivers is 1.2 × 10 6 m 3 /s (43 million cu ft/s), [ 1 ] of which the Amazon would be approximately 18%.
This is a list of rivers in the continental United States by average discharge (streamflow) in cubic feet per second. All rivers with average discharge more than 15,000 cubic feet per second are listed.
The Androscoggin River (Abenaki: Ammoscongon) [6] is a river in the U.S. states of Maine and New Hampshire, in northern New England. It is 178 miles (286 km) [ 7 ] long and joins the Kennebec River at Merrymeeting Bay in Maine before its water empties into the Gulf of Maine on the Atlantic Ocean .
The Ohio River at Cairo is 281,500 cu ft/s (7,960 m 3 /s); [1] and the Mississippi River at Thebes, Illinois, which is upstream of the confluence, is 208,200 cu ft/s (5,897 m 3 /s). [66] The Ohio River flow is greater than that of the Mississippi River, so hydrologically the Ohio River is the main stream of the river system.
The St. Johns River (Spanish: Río San Juan) is the longest river in the U.S. state of Florida and is the most significant one for commercial and recreational use. [note 1] At 310 miles (500 km) long, it flows north and winds through or borders 12 counties.
The average yearly mean flow of the river at Green River, Utah is 6,121 cubic feet (173.3 m 3) per second. [2] The status of the Green River as a tributary of the Colorado River came about mainly for political reasons. In earlier nomenclature, the Colorado River began at its confluence with the Green River.
The river is 1,243 mi (2,000 km) long, and its largest tributary is the Snake River. Its drainage basin is roughly the size of France and extends into seven states of the United States and one Canadian province. The fourth-largest river in the United States by flow, [note 1] the Columbia has the greatest flow of any river into the eastern Pacific.
The river then flows by a USGS gauging station, which is on the left, and under the St. Johns Bridge, which carries U.S. Route 30 Bypass. Here Portland's Linnton neighborhood is on the left, and its St. Johns neighborhood is on the right. About 3.5 miles (5.6 km) from the mouth, the river divides to flow around Sauvie Island. Over the final ...
