About WaterfallDB

Comprehensive waterfall database with 124 entries covering height, type, location, and natural history.

Each entry lists the country, the total height of the drop, the waterfall type (plunge, tiered, curtain, cascade, rapids and more), the river that feeds it where known, and a short note on its history, geology or how to visit. Heights are total drops as commonly published; tiered falls are measured across all tiers.

The collection spans 30 countries, from Angel Falls in Venezuela and Victoria Falls on the Zambia-Zimbabwe border to small local cascades. Browse by type or country from the home page, or use the search box to find a waterfall by name, country or keyword.
