Niagara Falls is a group of three waterfalls on the Niagara River between Canada and the United States.
Both rulers start at the same zero and share one linear scale. Artwork keeps its original proportions. Horizontal rulers compare the selected spans; vertical brackets also identify height on the artwork.
Measurements, assumptions & sources +
50 m swimming pool
Length: 50 m; example.
Example: 50 × 25 m and uniformly 2 m deep. 2.5 million litres; actual competition-pool depth and volume vary.
Defined examples — our methodology
The marked length is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.
Niagara Falls
Horseshoe Falls vertical drop: 51 m; approximate; range 50 m–57 m.
A rounded 51 m vertical-drop anchor for Horseshoe Falls. The Niagara complex contains three waterfalls with different widths and drops; this is not total river elevation change.

Why this measurement?
Why we use 50 m
We compare the length of a 50 m swimming pool. This is an illustrative comparison value, not a claim that every example is the same.
Example: 50 × 25 m and uniformly 2 m deep. 2.5 million litres; actual competition-pool depth and volume vary.
