There are many rivers in the world, but none quite as impressive as the Amazon. Not only is it the world’s longest river, it has the largest drainage area and the fastest discharge rate. Even the Congo has an 80% slower discharge rate the Amazon, it still has the highest such rate in the world. In terms of length, the Nile is not far behind the Amazon, flowing through 11 modern African countries before it empties into the Mediterranean.
