I have never tried to make a waterfall, never seen one in game ever, so this suggestion might not work. You can try by making a brush of where the waterfall is going to be using the No_draw texture. Then press control A, and select in the browse a water texture you would like (preferaly a blue one that doesnt has much motion) then right click on the falling side of the no draw texture. That should make it blue on the falling side.
Use that technic to also select the top area, the one where the water falls.
Later on you can add different effect to make it look more like a waterfall. You could carve a smooth edge and add a trigger_push entity to push any objects near the edge to fall, and add some smoke and paint it white/grey to make it look like foam from the waterfall.
Be creative! Again I repeat, I am not sure if it will work, as Hammer can do funny things and behave unpredictily at times
The process i described looks quite intersting, so as soon as I get home after dinner I will try it, and post it here if it works! But you should try it yourself!
Remember to not have any leaks as that will FUCK up EVERYTHING!
Good Luck! Ill come back in about 4-5 hours with my results

You need an animated texture (at least it looks like that's how he did it in the video) and then you can create the steam effect with some entity that I forgot the name of
