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.
