Beautiful Falls in the world

SUTHERLAND FALLS. [Fiordland National Park, New Zealand]
           Sutherland Falls is a waterfall near Milford Sound in New Zealand's South Island. At 580 metres (1,904 feet) the falls were long believed to be the tallest waterfall in New Zealand.However, Browne Falls cascades 843 metres (2,766 feet) down a mountainside in Doubtful Sound, leading some to view that as the tallest.
           The water falls from Lake Quill in three cascades: the upper is 229 m tall, the middle is 248 m, and the lower is 103 m tall. A vertical fall of 580 m is made over 480 m of horizontal distance, thus the mean grade of falls is approximately 56 degrees


ANGEL FALLS:
  The great Angel Falls is a waterfall in Venezuela. It is the world's highest uninterrupted waterfall, with a height of 979 metres (3,211feet) and a plunge of 807 metres (2,368 feet).

Balancing recreational, commercial, and industrial uses has been a challenge for the stewards of the falls since the 19th century.
