What is the world's largest waterfall, by volume of water?

 The world's largest waterfall by volume of water is Inga Falls, located on the Congo River in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

🌊 Key Facts about Inga Falls:

• River: Congo River (the second-largest river in the world by discharge, after the Amazon)
• Average flow rate: 25,060 cubic meters per second (m³/s)

(For comparison, Niagara Falls has a flow of about 2,400 m³/s)

• Type: A series of rapids and cascades, not a vertical drop like Angel Falls
• Length of the falls: Around 15 kilometers (9.3 miles)
• Height: Only about 96 meters (315 feet) total across all cascades

🔌 Why It’s Important:

• Massive hydroelectric potential: The Inga Dam and future Grand Inga Project are designed to harness the immense power of these falls, potentially supplying electricity to much of Africa.

📝 Clarification:

• While Angel Falls in Venezuela is the tallest waterfall (979 meters or 3,212 feet), Inga Falls carries the greatest volume of water, making it the largest by flow.
