Waterfalls are formed due to the passage of several rivers that flow across mountains and it has been technically proved that visit and taking bath in waterfalls provide many health benefits to humans. Waterfalls are found to provide serene beauty to any place. Waterfalls attract many foreigners to arrange trips in India. This would really help in increasing the revenue of any country. Since it passes over many plants and roots of many trees it is found to collect many ayurvedic medicines. More overfalls are located in dense forest and so it provides fresh air, calm and stress-free environment.

On the other hand, waterfalls have been utilized for various resources like the production of hydroelectricity and agriculture. India being an agricultural country, this seems to be a more important resource for formers. On production of hydroelectricity, the kinetic energy of water falling from several meters is utilized for the generation of electric power.

The waterfalls in India have to be maintained properly for further utilization. Tada (Ubbalamdugu) in the state of Andhra Pradesh, Dudhsagar Falls in Goa, Barkana Falls, Kalhatti Falls, Sivasamudram Falls (Cauvery Falls), Unchalli Falls (Lushington Falls) in the state of Karnataka and Kutralam Falls in Tamil Nadu are a few of the famous waterfalls in India.
