The Most Dan.gerous Rivers In The World

Brisbane River Australia
A hydrologist has warned of the dangers of swimming in the Brisbane River, as police continue their search for a man who jumped off the William Jolly Bridge earlier this week.

Yellow River China
The Yellow River was called ‘the Sorrow of China’ (probably by westerners in the early days) because of its frequent massive and vast destructive flooding since the beginning of history. The reason is that it originates in its upper reaches from the loess plateau (of loose earth) and carries silt down river. When it reaches the lower plains, the land is flat and the river slows down. The silt it is carrying gets deposited on the river bed. Over a few years, the river bed becomes shallow and when extra rainfall happens, the river easily floods.

Congo River Africa
The Congo River in Central Africa is one of the world’s great rivers, carrying 1.25 million cubic feet of water—more than 13 Olympic-sized swimming pools—into the Atlantic Ocean every second. That’s more flow than any other river in the world that’s not the Amazon. But even more impressive is the canyon that the lower Congo cuts as it empties out to sea. It’s the deepest river in the world. In fact, it’s so deep that we don’t really know how deep it is.

Yenisei Eiver Russia
This is one of the world’s largest rivers: the length of the river from the confluence of the Big Yenisei and the Small Yenisei River is of 3487 km, from the origins of the Small Yenisei is of 4287 km and from the origins of the Big Yenisei is 4123 km. The confluence of the Big and the Small Yenisei at Kyzyl is the geographical center of Asia ( a memorial stele being mounted there). The average water flow at the mouth is of 19 800 m ³ / sec, the maximum may reach 190 000 m ³ / sec, before the construction of hydropower plants on the river and tributaries, the minimum flow rate fell during the winter months to 2 700 m ³ / sec. The magnitude of runoff (624 km ³) Yenisei is a place among the rivers of Russia.
