The river itself varies from about 14 to 40 feet with the seasons, but unusually heavy rains will sometimes cause a sudden rise of 40 feet. Rapid changes of level of 20 feet are frequent, and the railway bridges have been flooded to depths of 14 or even 20 feet.

The discharge varies enormously, from '650 to as much as 70,000 cubic feet per second; but the normal difference is not more than 700 cubic feet in the dry season and 2,600 during the floods. Compared with that of European rivers, the mean discharge is very high,.
