According to Monga Bay, which offers extensive information regarding rainforests, The Congo River -- formerly the Zaire River -- is Africa's most powerful river and the second most voluminous river in the world with a discharge of 1,500,000 cubic feet of water per second. It is the fifth longest river in the world, draining a basin of nearly 1.5 million square miles.

The river is best known for its role in history. Called the heart of darkness by Joseph Conrad, the river and surrounding rainforest have long been known as the mysterious land of pygmies, mythical beasts, dreadful plagues, and cannibals. It is a land made famous by the rigorous adventures of Stanley and Livingstone, and known as a place of brutality and violence for its past: the days of the Arab slave and ivory trade, its long history of tribal warfare; and its present: the ethnic violence and massacres of today.

It runs through former Zaire, now Congo and Angola

The Snowy River is a major river in south-eastern Australia. It originates on the slopes of Mount Kosciuszko, Australia's highest mainland peak, draining the eastern slopes of the Snowy Mountains in New South Wales, before flowing through the Snowy River National Park in Victoria and emptying into Bass Strait. Up until the mid 20th century, the river was notable for its high volume of fresh water, wide reach and large rapids.

It completely depends. The deepest part is at the Loreley Rocks (Felsen der Loreley). In comparison in the Rheingau it is no deeper than 1.9 meters. But, for that reason, at that point the river is 900 meters wide. Also, it's varying depending on the amount of water in the course of a year. There's flooding after a lot of rain, melt-off in the spring and low-water when it hasn't rained for a long time. So that ships can go up and down the Rhein relatively undisturbed, there are channels in the Rhein which assure there is a depth of at least 1.9 meters (as previously stated). I hope this answered your question. It's a large river.
