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.

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.

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.
