friction causes heat, the water fall is moving against another surface and generating heat. since the movement of the water is downward, the heat is carried to the bottom before diffusing out and up toward the surface.

Waterfalls don't get hot at the bottom, unless the water was hot at the top. If there is any rise in temperature as a result of it falling, it would not be noticeable to a human.

Water on the lowest of a waterfall may well be the comparable temperature simply by fact the water on the final of the waterfall. there is not any longer adequate friction to effect in what you assert. to verify that water to be warm on the lowest of a waterfall the water on the final of the waterfall had to have come from a geothermal resource underground.
