About Khagrachari waterfall

Waterfalls are Khagrachari waterfall commonly formed in the upper course of the river.[1] At these times the channel is often narrow and deep. When the river Khagrachari waterfall courses over resistant bedrock, erosion happens slowly, while downstream the erosion occurs more rapidly.[1][2]
As the watercourse increases its velocity at the edge of the waterfall, it plucks material from the riverbed. Whirlpools created in the Khagrachari waterfall turbulence as well as sand and stones carried by the watercourse increase the erosion capacity.[1] This causes the waterfall to carve deeper into the bed and to recede upstream. Often over time, the waterfall will recede back to Khagrachari waterfall form a canyon or gorge downstream as it recedes upstream, and it will carve deeper into the ridge above it.[3] The rate of retreat for a waterfall can be as high as one and half meters per year.[1]
