How much water flows over Niagara Falls per second?
During peak tourist hours, approximately 2,800 cubic meters (about 100,000 cubic feet) of water flow over Niagara Falls every second. At night and outside the tourist season, water is diverted for hydroelectric power generation under a 1950 treaty between the US and Canada, reducing the flow significantly.

The falls rank among the most voluminous in the world, drawing millions of visitors each year to the border between Canada and the United States.
