In addition, there is the more practical issue that often what is called a waterfall is a series of cascades.

Many, if not all waterfalls are not vertical in the strict sense of the word. World English Dictionary: waterfall: a cascade of falling water where there is a vertical or almost vertical step in a river. Maybe you are thinking of a series of waterfalls or a rapids or a combination of the two as a "waterfall"?
