How many liters of water does the Amazon River pour into the Atlantic Ocean every second, averaged over a year?
Answer
209,000,000 liters per second
The Amazon discharges more water than the next several largest rivers combined — about one-fifth of all river water reaching the world's oceans. Its outflow pushes drinkable fresh water more than 100 km out to sea.
