There is no land and culture where people would be indifferent towards waterfalls. This phenomenon of nature
is less dangerous than volcanoes, sea or the rivers themselves. In spite of this among people of the world there is
widespread belief that in the great waterfalls there are living evil spirits. It is not hard to believe in this when
you hear the roar and enormous force of the great waterfalls of the world.
Some waterfalls have become a cornerstone of regional or even national
tourism industry. Small "worlds" of
relative economical and even political stability are around the big trio of
world waterfalls -
Victoria,
Iguazu and
Niagara. Here
nature has created unprecedented sight and people are coming here from
any place of the world. It is just necessary to prove that you can assist them
when they visit these places, and the future of you and your children seems
to be secured...
Sometimes strange business interests interfere, ruining the lifes of many for the profit of few and depriving the world of
the beauty. The greatest waterfall of
the world -
Guaira (Brasil/Paraguay) - is lost under the
waters of
Itaipu Dam. In last years almost
no water comes to the great
Tissisat
waterfall (Ethiopia) due to the Tis Abbay II hydro power plant. Several unique waterfalls have been lost in Uganda.
Still there are enough great waterfalls in the world - we just can wish you to have more possibilities to visit and see them!
