Data on Plunge Pool Morphology and Hydraulics of Seven Waterfalls in Eastern India

The most terribly beautiful sculptures in the river basin are waterfalls. Their beauty tempts us to come closer and its dreadfulness pushes us back away. That is why data on the morphometry of waterfalls and their hydraulics in India is very scarce. We generated data on width (w), average depth (d) and the maximum depth (d_max) of plunge pools; fall height 〖(D〗_h) of the waterfall; and the distance of jet impingement from the headwall 〖 (X〗_n) of seven waterfalls from eastern India. Peak discharge (Q) and the energy of falling water were also estimated. These data help determine the relationship between hydraulics and waterfall morphology.
