| The heights listed may reflect
the inclusion of non-vertical falls, cascades and steep
streambed, which, alone, would not be considered a noteworthy
waterfall by most. When situated between, above or below
a major waterfall, it is, however, common that such features
are included in the waterfall's overall height. Most of
the heights on this list are accurate to our knowledge,
however, several are estimates based on various sources,
and may or may not be accurate. The waterfalls on this
list, the accompanying data and the order in which they
are presented may change without notice at any given time.
