  2. List of rivers by discharge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rivers_by_discharge

    Rivers with an average discharge of 5,000 m 3 /s or greater, as a fraction of the estimated global total. This article lists rivers by their average discharge measured in descending order of their water flow rate. Here, only those rivers whose discharge is more than 2,000 m 3 /s (71,000 cu ft/s) are shown. It can be thought of as a list of the ...

  3. Discharge (hydrology) - Wikipedia

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

    A discharge is a measure of the quantity of any fluid flow over unit time. The quantity may be either volume or mass. Thus the water discharge of a tap (faucet) can be measured with a measuring jug and a stopwatch. Here the discharge might be 1 litre per 15 seconds, equivalent to 67 ml/second or 4 litres/minute. This is an average measure.

    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.

  5. Kuhl irrigation (Himachal Pradesh) - Wikipedia

    The Kuhl irrigation system in the Kangra Valley of Himachal Pradesh is a remarkable example of traditional community-managed gravity flow irrigation.This system plays a crucial role in supporting agriculture in the region, allowing farmers to efficiently utilize water resources in the challenging Himalayan terrain.

  6. Hydrograph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrograph

    The rate of flow is typically expressed in units of cubic meters per second (m³/s) or cubic feet per second (cfs). Hydrographs often relate changes of precipitation to changes in discharge over time. [1] The term can also refer to a graph showing the volume of water reaching a particular outfall, or location in a

  7. Groundwater discharge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundwater_discharge

    Q is the total groundwater discharge ([L 3 ·T −1]; m 3 /s), K is the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer ([L·T −1]; m/s), dh/dl is the hydraulic gradient ([L·L −1]; unitless), and A is the area which the groundwater is flowing through ([L 2]; m 2) For example, this can be used to determine the flow rate of water flowing along a plane ...

  8. 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 ...
