Inga Falls
Inga Falls is a rapids 40 km from Matadi in the Democratic Republic of the Congo where the Congo River drops 96 m (315 ft) over the course of 15 km (9 mi).〔World Waterfalls Database (Inga Falls )〕 Inga Falls form a part of a larger group of rapids - Livingstone Falls and are located closer to the lower part of these falls. Falls have formed in a sharp bend of Congo River where the width of river fluctuates from more than 4 km to mere 260 m.〔(Inga Falls ) Wondermondo〕 At median discharge of 42,476 m³/s (1,500,000 ft³/s) it is arguably the largest waterfall in the world,〔World Waterfalls Database (World's Largest Waterfalls )〕 although Inga Falls is not a true waterfall. Its maximum recorded volume is 70,793 m³/s (2,500,000 ft³/s).〔 Inga falls is also the site of two large hydroelectric dams, named Inga I and Inga II, as well as two projected dams Inga III, one, Grand Inga Dam, which would be the largest (by power production) in the world.〔( Africa plans biggest dam project ).
