lowfall

Lowfall is a term that may refer to a small waterfall or toponym. It is not a standard technical term in hydrology, but it is used in some descriptions and place names.

As a hydrological descriptor, a lowfall denotes a waterfall with a modest vertical drop, where the water maintains a continuous flow and the plunge is less dramatic than larger falls.

As a geographic name, Lowfall may appear as a toponym in some English-speaking regions, typically reflecting a local feature such as a small waterfall or a low-lying area near water.

In literature and culture, the term is sometimes used metaphorically to describe a gentle decline or a minor setback, rather than a dramatic change.

The word is formed from the English elements "low" and "fall," underscoring the sense of a small or gentle drop. Related terms include waterfall, cascade, cataract, and toponymy.
