Inga dams

The Inga Dams are two hydroelectric dams connected to one of the largest waterfalls in the world, Inga Falls. They are located in the western Democratic Republic of the Congo and 140 miles southwest of Kinshasa.

Inga Falls on the Congo River is a group of rapids downstream of the Livingstone Falls and the Pool Malebo. The Congo falls ~96 metres within this set of cataracts. The mean annual flow rate of the Congo River at Inga Falls is ~42,000 cubic metres per second. Given this flow rate and the 96-metre fall, the Inga Falls alone has a potential to generate ~39.6 gigawatts of mechanical energy and nearly as much electrical energy.
