    1 swimming pool is what Niagara averages.
    every second.

    when river is raging at its meanest, it’s 17 swimming pools per second flowing over a specific spot.

    Thanks. One final question as I'm trying to visualize how much water that is.
    In a one acre plot of land how high would that water level be? Thanks again.

    You ever see a swimming pool on an 18 wheeler, going down the interstate? Imagine it sitting on an acre of land.

    Rinse and repeat with 7.

    Can't say that I've seen an 18 wheeler hauling a swimming pool.
    So are you saying the water would equal 7 pools on an acre of land? Doesn't seem like much.

    football field (goal post to goal post) about 19 foot deep.
    would be roughly 1 million cubic feet.

    that much water moving past a specific point every second.

    Thanks for that explanation. That helped in visualizing just how much water that is. And thanks for putting up with and answering my questions. Much appreciated.
