A series of low falls flowing over a considerable distance is known as a cascade.

Sete Quedas or Guaira is the world’s greatest waterfall when its mean annual flow(estimated at 470.000 cusecs, cubic feet per second)is combined with height. Agreater volume of water passes over Boyoma Falls(Stanley Falls). Though not one of its seven cataracts, spread over nearly 60miles of the Congo River. Exceeds 10 feet.

Estimated mean annual flow,in cusecs, of other major waterfalls are: Niagara, 212,200; Paulo Afonso, 100,000; Urubupunga, 97,000; lguazu, 61,000; Patos-Maribondo, 53,000; Victoria, 35,400; and Kaieteur, 23,400.
