There are several types of waterfalls which help in enhancing the beauty of the landscape. In some types, equal quantities of water fall from two lips of a high steep rock, while in another type, water falls of one side of the lip of a rock.
Several other types have water running over irregularities on the rock face of the cliff, water divided into many falling threads by numerous irregularities along the lip of the cliff, water falling in a series of two or more cascades down step-like clips.
In some situations, however, a trickle of water over the ledge outcrop is more convincing than a heavy rush of water. In these ways, variety is introduced in the waterfall itself.
A quiet pool and a small waterfall offer contrasts in sight and sound in a landscape garden.
Waterfalls are made functional either through natural sources of water or by connecting water pipes.
Whatever may be the source of water, if properly designed, waterfalls present a naturalistic view.
