While descending through the Rewa Plateau and draining northwards, the Tamsa makes a vertical fall of 70 metres (230 ft), creating the Purwa Falls.[1][2]
The Purwa Falls is an example of a nick point caused by rejuvenation. Knick point, also called a nick point or simply nick, represents breaks in slopes in the longitudinal profile of a river caused by rejuvenation. The break in channel gradient allows water to fall vertically giving rise to a waterfall.[3]
