there are reportedly 3 olympic swimming pools per second going over the Burdekin Falls dam wall. Sorry - don't know how many sidarbs that would be.
Quick calculation shows that flow rate would be about 1.15 sydharbs per day (assuming the pool is 2.5 ML).
A few orders of magnitude above your average fuel flow calcs...
