Nile, Amazon, Niagara.
And what is the only other major river in the world that flows North besides the Nile????
Its the Mighty Niagara. It also flows at 12 MPH. Very fast for a river that size.

Take your pick - The most important would be seriously debatable but probably today would be the
Amazon, Yellow and Ganges.
Historically speaking however, nothing beats the Tigris and Eurphrates, the Nile and the Yellow Rivers, three cradle points of civilization.
Amazon - South America
Nile/Zambizi/Congo Rivers - Africa
Rhine/Danube - Europe
Volga/Irkutsk - Eurasia/Russia
Tigris/Eurphrates - Iraq/Turkey/
Wei/Yalu/Yangtzi - IndoChina/China
Brahmaputra/Ganga(es) - Indian Subcontinent/Himalayas
Missouri/Mississippi/Columbia - North America
Murray/Darling - Australia
Katabatic Sub-Glacial Ross Ice Shelf - Antartica
