  That is a good question and one I do not have a ready answer for. I do
have a couple two or three leads for you though so your not entirely out
of luck.

  First on the list is a stop by Chris Colefax's page and to download the
Liquid Spray include file. If I recall correctly Chris mentions it might be
possible to use it to generate water falls with:

Your second stop should take you to the following link where there are images
of a waterfall accomplished with Pov's media feature. The source files for the
scene are available so perhaps you can learn by their example:

Lastly if you get desperate for inspiration a good browse through the IRTC
entries might bring you across an entry that has a waterfall in it. Often
times the source files for the images presented are included by the person
submitting the image so you can learn by their work. I have no direct links
for this other than http://www.irtc.org
