Rivers with an average discharge of 5,000 m3 /s or greater, as a fraction of the estimated global total. This article listsrivers by their averagedischarge measured in descending order of their water flow rate. Here, only those rivers whose discharge is more than 2,000 m3 /s (71,000 cu ft/s) are shown. It can be thought of as a list of the biggest rivers on Earth, measured by a specific metric.
For context, the volume of anOlympic-size swimming pool is 2,500 m3 (88,000 cu ft). 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 million m³/s (43 million cu ft/s),[ 1]

List of primary rivers by discharge [ edit ] The global annualrunoff into theoceans (38,500–44,200 km3 /year) is dominated by runoff into the South Atlantic from eastern South America, into the western Pacific from east Asia, and into the Indian Ocean from India, and southeast Asia. Depending on the estimate, theAmazon alone accounts for 15–18% of the annual freshwater runoff into the oceans.[ 128] [ 129] [ 130]
