That isn't simple, hydrax make only planar water
You can read about Nxogre fluids feature, but it's quite complex, you must use particles to recreate a sort of waterfall, and try to make soem fresnel on it

But there isn't pre-made libs for a waterfall

i'm getting crazy :(

well, hydrax is designed for make oceans or anything that looks like a quiet plane
If you want plain lava or other material, you can configure it
but if you want a more physical behavior, you're at the wrong place
Waterfall is a physical behavior, as rivers, or typhoons

As I said, NxOgre can be a solution, but it's quite a task

ok for waterfall i understand but i haven't understand for river, i must use ogrenx also for this?

(sorry i'm a noob and river can be a planar not orizontal :D )

It's a Physic behavior, as rocks modify the water shape and as it isn't calm water : there is a flow
Thats why you need a physic library

take a look to nvidia cascade demo, it's a PhysX usage example I think :
