පරිශීලක:Lee/පරිවර්තන/List of waterfalls by flow rate
< පරිශීලක:Lee | පරිවර්තන
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 for, and should not be assumed to be a complete list of waterfalls which would otherwise qualify as globally significant based on this metric.

සංස්කරණයThis list comprises the waterfalls which have ceased to exist due to the impoundment of their river(s) by a dam, or due to the diversion of the watercourse.
Waterfall | Image | Flow rate (m3/s) | Drop (m) | Width (m) | River | Countries | Coordinates | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Guaíra Falls | 13,309 | 40 | 4,828 | Paraná | Brazil සැකිල්ල:රටේ දත්ත Paraguay |
24°04′03″S 54°17′00″W / 24.067547°S 54.283276°W | Submerged beneath the Itaipu Reservoir following the completion of the Itaipu Dam in 1982.[74] | |
Celilo Falls | 5,366 | 6.1 | 1,768 | Columbia | United States | 45°39′05″N 120°58′10″W / 45.65147°N 120.96941°W | Submerged beneath the Columbia River following the completion of The Dalles Dam in 1957. The rock formation responsible for the falls remains intact.[75][76] | |
Kettle Falls | 4,682 | ? | ? | Columbia | United States | 48°37′52″N 118°07′08″W / 48.63099°N 118.11897°W | Submerged beneath Lake Roosevelt following the completion of the Grand Coulee Dam in 1940. The formation responsible for the falls remains intact.[77] | |
Urubupunga Falls | 2,747 | 13 | 2,012 | Paraná | Brazil | 20°36′S 51°33′W / 20.6°S 51.55°W | Submerged beneath the Paraná River following completion of the Engineer Souza Dias Dam in 1982. The formation responsible for the falls remains intact.[78] | |
Marimbondo Falls | 1,501 | 24 | 2,012 | Rio Grande | Brazil | 20°18′35″S 49°12′06″W / 20.30972°S 49.20167°W | The Marimbondo Dam was built atop the upper portion of the falls in 1971. The section further upstream was submerged beneath the Rio Grande, while the section below the dam was dewatered and are visible.[79] | |
San Rafael Falls | 400 | 94 | 23 | Coca | Ecuador | 0°06′15″S 77°34′51″W / 0.104303°S 77.580967°W | On 2 February 2020, a large sinkhole formed just above the falls, diverting its flow beneath a large band of rock (the former brink of the falls) which survived the collapse and became a natural bridge until it too collapsed. Although the river initially still fell over 100 m (330 ft) into the sinkhole, very rapid headward erosion has since left no significant waterfall at this location.[80][81][82] | |
La Chute Grande | 170 | 19 | ? | Romaine | Canada | 50°23′14″S 63°15′06″W / 50.387110°S 63.251592°W | Destroyed by the construction of the Romaine-1 Generating Station at the top of the falls. [83] |
