Don't you mean "What is the highest waterfall in the world?"
It's Angel Falls in South America
"About 20 times higher than Niagara Falls and more than twice the height of the Empire State Building, spurting from a cliff nearly a mile high in the jungle fastness of eastern Venezuela is Angel Falls, world's highest waterfall. Its total drop is 3,212 feet!"

Waterfalls are expressed in terms of height, not depth. The highest waterfall in the world is Victoria Falls in Africa. It is actually so high it's silent because the water atomises before it hits the bottom.
