Waterfalls of Guyana - the big table

The table below lists some 70 impressive waterfalls of Guyana but it is very far from being complete. It does not include the countless rapids, such as the magnificent King Edward VII Falls.

The data is obtained from online geographic nameservers, comparing the results to Google Earth maps, Soviet Army maps and more than 30 sources of literature.

Nevertheless almost all numbers are very approximate and in real nature might be different. Numbers are provided for general impression about the size of waterfall.
