Interesting the Nile doesn't rank.

It only has a discharge of 2,800 cubic meters a second. Which puts it at the 105th most powerful river. I assumed it would be on the list too, makes me wonder if the irrigation techniques used in the Nile impact that.

I don't know that 200 million liters a second is very helpful either, to be honest. At least I can almost picture 80 big ass pools being filled in a second.

A little under 100 miles of the state of New York’s border is the river itself.
