The Setcaidas Falls, also known as Guailere Falls, is located on the border between Brazil and Paraguay in Latin America. With a width of 3,200 meters, it is a series of waterfalls divided into 18 streams by rocks, with an average annual flow of 13,300 cubic meters per second, making it the largest waterfall known in the world and one of the widest.
Sete Kedas Falls, also known as Guairah Falls, is a group of waterfalls on the border between Brazil and Paraguay in South America. Located within the Alta Paraná River Gorge. One of the largest waterfalls in the world.
In fact, it consists of 18 waterfalls, with an average flow of 13 200 meters and 3 seconds, which can be four times as much during peak flood periods, and is extremely hydraulically abundant. The total width of the waterfall is 90 meters, the total drop is 114 meters, and the sound of falling is as far as 40 kilometers. Beautiful scenery for browsing.
Below the waterfall is the largest Itaipu hydroelectric power plant in the world, creating an artificial lake that makes the waterfall disappear. Itaipu Hydropower Station is the world's largest hydropower plant ever built. It is located in the section of the Paraná River in South America that flows through the border between Brazil and Paraguay, 170 kilometers below the falls of Sete Kedas.
It was built by Brazil and Paraguay. Construction began on October 20, 1975 and was completed in May 1991. With a total length of 7,744 metres and a height of 196 metres, the dam cuts off the Paraná River to form an artificial lake with an area of 1,350 square kilometres and a storage capacity of 29 billion cubic metres.
The installation of 18 generating units, with a capacity of 12.6 million kilowatts, generates about 75 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity per year, reaching 81.6 billion kilowatt-hours in 1996, which can meet the total electricity consumption of Paraguay and 25 per cent of the electricity consumption of Brazil. It also has comprehensive benefits such as flood control, shipping, fishery, tourism and improvement of the ecological environment. This is provided.

1. Because the high barrage dam of the Itaipu Hydropower Station intercepts a large amount of river water, the water source of the Setkedas Waterfall is greatly reduced. In addition, many factories in the surrounding countries waste a lot of water without restraint, while the forests along the banks of the river are deforested, the water and soil are eroded, and the amount of water seepage from the waterfall is decreasing year by year.
2. In the past few years, the Setkaidas Waterfall has gradually dried up, and even in the flood season, it is impossible to see the majesty and momentum of the past. It hung its head helplessly in the mountains. Like an old man who is dying, he is withered and dying, waiting for his final demise.
Many tourists who came to see this scene were full of melancholy and went away disappointed.

In the early 80s of the 20th century, the largest hydroelectric power station in the world, the Itaipu Hydroelectric Power Station, was built on the upper reaches of the waterfall. The dams on which the hydroelectric dam is high have dammed a large amount of water from the river, reducing the water supply of the Setkedas waterfall. In addition, many factories in the surrounding countries use water uncontrollably, wasting a lot of water resources, while the forests along the banks of the river are deforested, and the water volume of the waterfall is decreasing year by year.
Scientists**, it won't be long before the waterfall disappears completely. When the news spread, many people were shocked and saddened. The Setkedas Waterfall, once the pride of many people, is about to disappear forever.
This fact is shocking, and at the same time, it arouses people's sense of responsibility to protect the environment. Painfully accepting the reality, they have joined the world in promoting "Protect the Environment, Care for the Earth".
In late August 1986, dozens of experts and professors in ecology and environmental sciences from all over the world, as well as a large number of nature lovers, gathered at the foot of the waterfall. They imitated the funeral rites of the local Indians for their chiefs, mourning together the disappearing Great Falls.
This action immediately caused an even greater shock.
In late September, Figueret, then Brazil, was also personally involved in the operation. On that day, he deliberately put on a black dress for the funeral and presided over this special funeral for the waterfall.
In an affectionate tone, Figueret recalled the pride and joy that the Scitecedas Waterfall had brought to the people of Brazil and the world, and called on people to take immediate action to protect the ecological balance and love the earth we live on, so that the tragedy of the waterfall will not be repeated.
The Sete Kedas Waterfall, also known as Guailei Waterfall, is 3,200 meters wide and is a series of waterfalls divided into 18 streams by rocks, with an average annual flow of 13,300 cubic meters per second, making it the largest waterfall known in the world.

1.At the junction of the borders of Brazil and Argentina in Latin America, there is the Paraná River, on which there is this world-famous waterfall - the Falls of Sete Caidas.
2.For a long time, the falls of Sitcaidas have been the pride of the people of Brazil and Argentina. Call it the world's most trafficked waterfall! At the beginning of the 80s of the 2o century, the largest hydroelectric power station in the world was built upstream of it, the Itaipu Hydroelectric Power Station.
The process ends in late September!

1 In the early eighties of the 20th century, in order to generate electricity, the world's largest hydroelectric power station was built on the upper reaches of the waterfall, the Itaipu Hydropower Station. The dams on the high barrage of the hydropower station have dammed a large amount of water from the river, reducing the volume of water in the Scitech Kedas Falls.
2. Many factories in the surrounding area use water without control.
3. Forests along both sides of the river are cut down indiscriminately.

The Setkedas Waterfall is located on the Paraná River on the border between Brazil and Argentina in Latin America. Once the world's largest waterfall, the Setkedas Falls roars down the cliffs with raging waters. Especially in the flood season every year, the momentum is even more majestic and magnificent, every second there are 10,000 cubic meters of water from a height of tens of meters to pour down, in the following hit open ten thousand lotus flowers, splashing up the water mist fluttering and sprinkling, sometimes up to nearly 100 meters, more deafening water sound, for the waterfall magnificent.
It is said that the loud sound of the waterfall can still be heard 30 kilometers away. In the 80s of the 20th century, an Itaipu hydropower station was built in the upper reaches of the waterfall, and the high barrage dam of the hydropower station intercepted a large amount of river water, which greatly reduced the water source of the Setkaidas waterfall, and the uncontrolled water use of the surrounding factories, the deforestation along both sides of the river, and the massive erosion of water and soil, and the water volume of the waterfall decreased year by year until it was exhausted. In September 1986, a special funeral was held on the Paraná River in Latin America for the Falls of Sète Caidas, which was personally officiated by Figueret, Brazil, in a black funeral dress.

Once the world's largest waterfall, the Setkedas Falls roars down the cliffs with raging waters. It's really "flying down 3,000 feet, suspected to be the Milky Way falling for nine days". Especially in the annual flood season, the momentum of the Sete Kedas Waterfall is even more majestic, every second there are 10,000 cubic meters of water from a height of tens of meters down, knocking ten thousand lotus flowers below, splashing water mist fluttering and sprinkling, sometimes up to nearly 100 meters. >>>More
