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 ...
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]
In particular, there seems to exist disagreement as to whether the Nile [3] or the Amazon [4] is the world's longest river. The Nile has traditionally been considered longer, but in 2007 and 2008 some scientists claimed that the Amazon is longer [5] [6] [7] by measuring the river plus the adjacent Pará estuary and the longest connecting tidal ...
