List Of Rivers By Discharge (ranked)

This is a list of rivers by their average discharge, that is, their water flow rate. Here, only those rivers are shown whose discharge is more than 2,000 m3/s (71,000 cu ft/s). For context, the volume of an Olympic-size swimming pool is 2,500 m3. The average flow rate at the mouth of the Amazon is sufficient to fill more than 83 such pools each second. Total annual runoff from all the rivers is nearly 31,400 billion m3; the average flow is nearly 995,000 m3/s.
