Watershed from upstream. Storms drop an incredible amount of water, it’s just spread out. Afterward, rainwater and/or snowmelt flow downhill, forming small streams which join up to larger ones which feed larger rivers. And this happens over time, so as long as there is precipitation upstream, it will keep the river flowing and any waterfalls along the way going.
