Hehe, don't mean to be a wise a$$. Just that I did a couple of articles on waterfalls a while back, so I know this stuff.
mmmm you could be right but that's what the swiss people say that Rhine is the largest .. Dettifoss Falls is known as the most powerful waterfall .. ok let's see

Dettifoss Falls are 100 metres (330 ft) wide whereas Rhine Falls are 150 m (450 ft) wide.. actually it's the height of Dettifoss which puts it on top of the list .. Rhine is 23 m (75 ft) high and Dettifoss is 45 m (148 ft).. source: Wiki (not the best source but still won't go wrong on height and width I guess)
