Waterfalls and Cataracts

Named places where a river or stream drops sharply in elevation, such as Victoria Falls. Belongs here: a named waterfall or cataract held as a landform entity in this atlas, which is where this atlas current waterfall entries sit even though a waterfall is closely tied to the river that forms it. Does not belong here: the river itself above or below the falls, held under bodyofwater.
