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.
Waterfall Image Flow rate (m 3 /s) Drop (m) Width (m) River Countries Coordinates Notes Inga Falls: 25,768 (est.) : 21 914 Congo DRC The Inga falls, whose status as a true waterfall is controversial, are currently incorporated into the Inga I and Inga II hydroelectric facilities.
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.
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.

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%.
Foz do Iguaçu/Cataratas International Airport (IATA: IGU, ICAO: SBFI), is the airport serving Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil. It is named after the Iguazu Falls ( Portuguese : Cataratas do Iguaçu ) and provides air-connections to the falls located at Iguaçu National Park , and to Itaipu Dam .
