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.
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.
The bill would eliminate the $4.50 cap per flight segment. In exchange, funding for federal Airport Improvement Program grants would be reduced from $3.35 billion per year to $2.95 billion. [5] In 2016, a measure to increase the PFC cap to $8.50, which was backed by airport and travel industry trade groups, failed. [5]

Itaipu Lake seen from above. Exactly at the border of Mato Grosso do Sul with the Paraguayan Canindeyú Department, Paraná-Mato Grosso do Sul and Paraná-Canindeyú department, were located the Guaíra Falls, formed by the Paraná River when the watercourse descended from the basaltic plateau to the gorge that led to La Prata River's plain.
Four other countries have at least two airports in the top 50: China has 10, while India, Spain, and the United Kingdom each have two. [4] In terms of regions, North America has 18 airports in the top 50, followed by East Asia with 12, Europe with eight, Southeast Asia with six, West Asia with three, South Asia with two, and South America with one.
