  2. List of rivers by discharge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rivers_by_discharge

    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%.

  3. List of rivers of the United States by discharge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rivers_of_the...

    This is a list of rivers in the continental United States by average discharge (streamflow) in cubic feet per second. All rivers with average discharge more than 15,000 cubic feet per second are listed.

  4. Volumetric flow rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volumetric_flow_rate

    The integration of a flux over an area gives the volumetric flow rate. The SI unit is cubic metres per second (m 3 /s). Another unit used is standard cubic centimetres per minute (SCCM). In US customary units and imperial units, volumetric flow rate is often expressed as cubic feet per second (ft 3 /s) or gallons per minute (either US or ...

  5. Discharge (hydrology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discharge_(hydrology)

    The gradual decay in flow after the peaks reflects diminishing supply from groundwater. A hydrograph is a graph showing the rate of flow (discharge) versus time past a specific point in a river, channel, or conduit carrying flow. The rate of flow is typically expressed in units of cubic meters per second (m³/s) or cubic feet per second (cfs).

  6. Cubic metre per second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_metre_per_second

    Cubic metre per second or cubic meter per second in American English (symbol m 3 ⋅ s −1 or m 3 /s) is the unit of volumetric flow rate in the International System of Units (SI). It corresponds to the exchange or movement of the volume of a cube with sides of one metre (39.37 in) in length (a cubic meter, originally a stere) each second.

  7. Sverdrup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sverdrup

    In oceanography, the sverdrup (symbol: Sv) is a non-SI metric unit of volumetric flow rate, with 1 Sv equal to 1 million cubic metres per second (264,172,052 US gal/s). [1] [2] It is equivalent to the SI derived unit cubic hectometer per second (symbol: hm 3 /s or hm 3 ⋅s −1): 1 Sv is equal to 1 hm 3 /s.

    A hydrograph is a graph showing the rate of flow versus time past a specific point in a river, channel, or conduit carrying flow. The rate of flow is typically expressed in units of cubic meters per second (m³/s) or cubic feet per second (cfs).

  9. List of waterfalls by flow rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../List_of_waterfalls_by_flow_rate

    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, and the list should not be assumed to be a complete list of waterfalls which would ...
