With a long-term mean discharge of 216 cubic feet (6.12 cubic meters) per second, [2] in terms of water flow it is the second-largest river in the state; although its watershed of 57 square kilometres (22 sq mi) is only sixth-largest on Kauaʻi, it encompasses areas of the highest recorded rainfall on the planet and plunges precipitously from ...
