1 Being November, we were told that the water volume was at its seasonal low, and this makes a very dramatic difference in the magnificence of the falls.
2 VF's average volume is less than half that of Niagara Falls' on an annual basis. But VF has such a seasonal variation that that is misleading. In high season (May), the avg monthly volume is 25% higher than Niagara's. But in low season (Nov), the avg monthly volume is only a tenth that much, or less than 1/8th that of Niagara Falls!
