Niagara Falls, centered on Horseshoe Falls, processes 2,800 cubic meters of water per second, making it the most voluminous waterfall on this list—1.3 times more than Iguazu Falls (#2). However, at just 51 meters tall, it is one-twentieth the height of Angel Falls (#1). Despite this, its immense flow dwarfs Victoria Falls (#3), which handles only 1,000 cubic meters per second at peak. Commercial development, including casinos and observation towers, draws over 15 million visitors annually, though critics argue it dilutes the natural spectacle compared to the more pristine settings of Angel Falls or Iguazu.
