[edit]

Every active cave with any vertical element will have 'cave waterfalls' (not a term I have come across before in my 50 years of caving). Only yesterday, I descended three such waterfalls in a cave in the UK - one of 6 m, one of 17 m, and one of 25 m. Within a mile of that location there must be at least 200 'cave waterfalls', at least one of which is over 60 metres high. Is it intended that they all be listed?

Langcliffe I think the title may need to changed I've found some sources suggesting subterranean waterfall [1], [2]? Any input Valoem talk contrib 19:28, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The point is that most active caves have waterfalls, even more so than surface streams. They are a very common phenomenon, and not, in my view, a subject for a Wikipedia list. I certainly can't imagine anybody from the Wikipedia caving community bothering to contribute to it. But it's up to you. Langcliffe (talk) 20:37, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
