Canada’s major rivers based on discharge The Saint Lawrence River is the largest river in Canada based on the volume of water that flows through the river per second.

Deep River is opposite the Laurentian Mountains and the Province of Quebec. The name Deep River purportedly derives from the fact that the Ottawa River reaches its greatest depth of 402 feet (123 m) just outside the township….Deep River, Ontario.

The Amazon River is 3,980 miles (6,400 kilometers) long, according to the U.S. National Park Service. It is, however, the world’s largest river by volume and contains 20 percent of the Earth’s fresh water, according to the National Science Foundation.

The Amazon is the longest river in the world and also the largest river by discharge volume and drainage basin area. With about 7 million square kilometres, the Amazon basin is nearly twice as big as the Congo river basin. The Amazon crosses Peru (headwaters), Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela and Brazil (mouth).
