  Waterfall - MSN Encarta
A waterfall of any height that has a small volume of water or is one of a series of falls is called a cascade.
Waterfalls in mountainous regions generally develop where a glacier has deepened a major trunk valley, leaving less-eroded branch valleys hanging; the tributary streams in these valleys discharge into the main river by falls or cascades.
Other waterfalls originate where a fault uplifts a mountain range or part of a range, creating a fault scarp over which streams drop steeply.

  Waterfall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A waterfall is usually a geological formation resulting from water, often in the form of a stream flowing over an erosion-resistant rock formation that forms a sudden break in elevation.
Waterfalls may also be artificial, and they are sometimes used for garden and landscape ornament.
In such cases, the waterfall may not be the end product of many years of water action over a region, but rather the result of relatively sudden geological processes such as thrust faults or volcanic action.

 Waterfall model - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The waterfall model is a software development model (a process for the creation of software) in which development is seen as flowing steadily downwards (like a waterfall) through the phases of requirements analysis, design, implementation, testing (validation), integration, and maintenance.
The waterfall model is widely used, including by such large software development houses as those employed by the US airforce (see "the waterfall model"), the US Department of Defense and NASA, and upon many large government projects (see "the standard waterfall model").
The idea behind the waterfall model may be "measure twice; cut once", and those opposed to the waterfall model argue that this idea tends to fall apart when the problem being measured is constantly changing due to requirement modifications and new realizations about the problem itself.

Waterfalls can usually be separated from water lilies and other plants by placing the cascade at one end of the pool and installing a few well-placed rocks to diffuse the current.
Waterfalls can also be used in flat areas, but care should be taken that the resulting raised section doesn't stick out like a sore thumb.
The combination of rock gardens and waterfalls is a natural one since the waterfall is set off by rocks anyway and rock garden plants, generally low-growing, won't block the view of the resulting stream.

 waterfall. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
It is formed when the stream course is interrupted as when a stream passes over a layer of harder rock—often igneous—to an area of softer and therefore more easily eroded rock; the edge of a cliff or plateau; or the edge of a hanging valley formed under glacial conditions (see glacial periods).
Normally, as a stream grows older, the waterfall, by undercutting and erosion of the waterfall edge and stream bed above the fall, moves upstream and loses height until it eventually becomes a series of rapids and finally disappears.
Waterfalls are often a source of waterpower for cities such as the string of cities in the United States that grew up along the waterfall line where streams from the Appalachians descend suddenly to the coastal plain and early textile and flour mills used power from waterfalls.

 Waterfall Summary
A waterfall is usually a geological formation resulting from water, often in the form of a stream, flowing over an erosion-resistant rock formation that forms a sudden break in elevation.
Some waterfalls form in mountain environments where erosion is rapid and stream courses may be subject to sudden and catastrophic change.
Waterfalls can also form due to glaciation, whereby a stream or river flowing into a glacier continues to flow into a valley after the glacier has receded or melted.
