No, my not was about basic physics, admittedly a bit pedantic: As most waterfalls have a horizontal movement component in addition to the component caused by gravity, the point where the falling water hits the ground is not exactly bellow the point where it starts its fall.
In addition, there is the more practical issue that often what is called a waterfall is a series of cascades.
