Is there a word in English to describe the descent of water or fluid out from a source? [closed]
I'm looking for a word to describe the flow of a liquid downwards gently and continually from a source.
E.g. water being shot up from a jet fountain and then bending and flowing downwards.
Lava flowing out of a volcano.
See images.
Solution 1:
A good one is Cascade
What wonderful pictures you have.
