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.[2] At median discharge of 42,476 m³/s (1,500,000 ft³/s) it is arguably the largest waterfall in the world,[3] although Inga Falls is not a true waterfall. Its maximum recorded volume is 70,793 m³/s (2,500,000 ft³/s).[1] 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.[4] References1. ^1 World Waterfalls Database Inga Falls 2. ^Inga Falls Wondermondo 3. ^World Waterfalls Database World's Largest Waterfalls {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081218215622/http://www.world-waterfalls.com/database.php?s=N&t=W&orderby=avevolume&sortLimit=5000 |date=2008-12-18 }} 4. ^Africa plans biggest dam project.
