Gallons per second at Niagara Falls

Ever wonder how many gallons of water go over the Niagara Falls every second? Well lets break it down. We know these facts:

  • Approximately 3160 tons of water flows over Niagara Falls every second.

  • 75,750 gallons go over the American and Bridal Veil Falls every second.

  • 681,750 gallons go over the Horseshoe Falls every second.

So if we add it all up, thats about 757,500 gallons of water per second?


Now, keep in mind that this is the total amount for all three locations of Niagara Falls - The Horseshoe Falls, American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls.


Now, back to the bathtub, there is approximately 45 gallons used per bath and that computes to 16,833 baths per second!
