What are retreating waterfalls?
A receding waterfall is:
a waterfall that through hydraulic action and corrasion, slowly over thousands of years moves backwards.
this happens because the water flowing over the fall erodes the earth below and creates a plunge pool, the earth that was worn away is used to corrode the soft rocks at the base of the waterfall, after the base is corroded the harder rocks above are unsupported and collapse due to gravity.
this process happens over and over again and that is how waterfalls recede.
What problems can waterfalls cause?
Mudslides, Death, escaping water, unnecessary noise, disturbance of nearby communities. Can impede quiet reading time.

How many waterfalls does Nebraska have?
In 2004, a National Parks Service-sponsored study cataloged the waterfalls of the Niobrara. Leonard Mason, a graduate student at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, found more than 180 falls along a 20-mile stretch of the valley. That was about twice as many as expected. Anything over a few feet was counted. The tallest is Smith Falls at 70 feet high. There are also a few falls on the Snake River but I do not know of an official count. Therefore the total would be approximately 185.

What are the merits and demerits of waterfall model?
1) Waterfall model is simple to implement and also the amount of resources required for it are minimal.
2) In this model, output is generated after each stage (as seen before), therefore it has high visibility. The client and project manager gets a feel that there is considerable progress. Here it is important to note that in any project psychological factors also play an important role.
3) Project management, both at internal level and client's level, is easy again because of visible outputs after each phase. Deadlines can be set for the completion of each phase and evaluation can be done from time to time, to check if project is going as per milestones.
4) This methodology is significantly better than the haphazard approach to develop software. It provides a template into which methods of analysis, design, coding, testing and maintenance can be placed.
5) This methodology is preferred in projects where quality is more important as compared to schedule or cost.
Disadvantages of Waterfall Iterative Model of SDLC1) Real projects rarely follow the sequential flow and iterations in this model are handled indirectly. These changes can cause confusion as the project proceeds.
2) It is often difficult to get customer requirements explicitly. Thus specifications can't be freezed. If that case arises baseline approach is followed, wherein output of one phase is carried forward to next phase. For example, even if SRS is not well defined and requirements can't be freezed, still design starts. Now if any changes are made in SRS then formal procedure is followed to put those changes in baseline document.
3) In this model we freeze software and hardware. But as technology changes at a rapid pace,such freezing is not advisable especially in long-term projects.
4) This method is especially bad in case client is not IT-literate as getting specifications from such a person is tough.
5) Even a small change in any previous stage can cause big problem for subsequent phases as all phases are dependent on each-other.
6) Going back a phase or two can be a costly affair.
What is the highest waterfall in new york state?
There are competing claims to the "highest waterfall" since one of the two largest in the state has a "two drop" form.
Kaaterskill Falls in the Catskills near Hunter, NY, has a total drop of 260 feet (79 m), with the higher drop constituting 180 feet (5 m) of the total.
Taughannock Falls near Ulysses, NY, is the highest single-drop falls, at a height of 215 feet (65.5 m).
By comparison, the drop on the American Falls at Niagara is only about 182 feet (55.5 m). A taller falls, totalling over 350 feet, is Inspiration Falls along the Genesee river . But this location only has an actual falls for a few weeks each year, and barely enough water to wet the rocks.
