How does the Amazon River rank in size when compared with other rivers?
The Amazon River accounts for about a fifth of the drainage of all the rivers in the world! That means that of all the water (volume) drained by all the rivers of the world, the Amazon alone handles about 20% or 1/5th of it. That's a lotof water!
