          Waterfall is a very generic term? They can be all shapes and sizes. Maybe post a pic of what you want to achieve?

          But Earthmover's example should do you as modelling a Waterfall isn't something that should be easy!

          Where exactly are you having difficulty so far? Maybe then members might be able to offer advice?

                  Would something simple like this be okay?

                  (Note that it always looks different when rendered)

                      It's not that difficult;

                      First I made a "patch" (for the Follow me) from two, tangent arcs:

                      1.png
                      Then I drew a circle at the bottom, scaled it about its centre to be a bit "flat" than used it as a face to do a follow me along the path.

                      2.png
                      Finally used FredoScale taper function to "flatten" the top part.

                      3.png

                      Of course, it could be improved further easily - this is just a "quick" example.
                      Ah, BTW if you are not planning to render it (and add some ore realistic water material), you can at least edit the material and add some transparency to it.

                        Nice look to the water, esp. reflections visible at top and distortions/refractions of the block wall through the water body, and also very magical forces applied which produce the narrowing of the flow.
