Expert Answer
When water reaches the ground, its gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. A part of its kinetic energy is converted into heat on reaching the surface. This causes a rise in temperature of water. So, the water at the foot of the waterfall is at a higher temperature as compared to the water at the top of the waterfall.
