Named places where a river or stream drops sharply in elevation, considered here as a hydrological feature rather than the surrounding landform. No live bodyofwater entity sits here yet; this atlas currently holds its one waterfall entry, Victoria Falls, as a landform entity rather than a bodyofwater entity, an existing inconsistency this wave reports rather than silently resolves. Belongs here: a future waterfall entity minted as bodyofwater. Does not belong here: the river above or below the falls, held under Rivers.
