A little more perspective

This measures the principal waterfall from the plateau lip to its base, retaining the broad Potaro River plunge. Downstream rapids and the full length of the gorge are separate features.

The commission explicitly describes the unusual combination of height and volume in this single drop. Water volume changes by season, so the illustrated flow is representative. The vertical endpoints belong to the waterfall itself.
