Untitled[edit]

The figure for flow rate in the RHS box is wrong. The second figure (600,000) should be cubic feet per second, not cubic metres per second

I edited it - Kisangani is not at the bottom of the falls, the falls end maybe 90 km upstream from Kisangani and are very difficult to access. Also I took out a reference to the river generally flowing westward after the falls - it flows north to Kisangani before turning west... Nlspiegel (talk) 05:21, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removed[edit]

We were having a discussion in the article, so I'm moving it here. Should be put back once it's cleaned up to make some kind of sense.

The Boyoma falls are often pointed out as the biggest waterfalls on earth by volume since the Sete Quedas or Guaíra Falls of the Paraná River have been destroyed during and flooded after the construction of the Itaipu dam. Despite this, the Boyoma rapids can hardly be categorized as a waterfall. And by far the most voluminous cataracts on earth are Inga Falls, the most powerful part of Livingstone Falls on the lower course of the Congo river.

Total fall?[edit]

the page says:

...seven cataracts, each no more than 5 m (16 ft) high... The seven cataracts have a total drop of 61 m (200 ft).

And yet 7 * 5 = 35. I presume the answer is that the drop, from first to last, is 61m; but that includes drops on the river in between the cataracts William M. Connolley (talk) 18:01, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Largest falls by flow ??[edit]

So how does this falls have more annual flow, than the falls below Kinshasa ? The falls below Kinshasa should have all the water from this falls, plus all the water from the Ubangi and the Kasai and numerous other rivers.Lathamibird (talk) 09:23, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
