The formation of waterfalls is formed due to the erosion activity of the water flow, flowing over the rock layers varying from those having different erosion rates. The flow of water passing over soft rock layers will have a higher erosion rate, compared to other areas with hard rock layers. The incident caused an increase in speed. River water that forms a faster stream down towards the bottom of the river. Over time, the water of the river slowly creates a canyon or ravine on the downstream of the river. The formation led to the formation of shallow caves to accommodate various materials and water that fell. The abrasion of the waterfall eruption occurred. As a result of the process, formed a deep basin or often called a canyon.
Waterfall can be formed by various phenomena, waterfall or waterfall Dago as shown above photo is due to volcanic process, where the volcanic material is removed by Tangkuban Parahu mountain and cause Dago Waterfall. Curug Dago has a waterfall height of only about 12 m only and is at an altitude of about 800 m above sea level Curug is formed from the flow of the river Cikapundung flowing from Maribaya into the city of Bandung. With its location is quite hidden, in the area of Bukit Dago in the Park Hutan Raya (THR) Ir H Djuanda, Bandung, and less supported tourism promotion causing this curug increasingly rarely visited by tourists. Despite this Curug Dago store traces of history for the Kingdom of Thailand. Not far from the location of the waterfall, there are two inscriptions of slate relics around 1818. According to historians, the two inscriptions are said to be relics of King Rama V (King Chulalonkorn) and King Rama VII (Pradjathipok Pharaminthara) from the Chakri dynasty who had visited to Curug Dago.
Now the state of Curug Dago undergoes many changes, one of which is the turbid river water conditions and brownish color as well as the amount of waste that pollutes the river flow.
This is caused by the number of settlements that are above the waterfall and penetration of processing plants cause the forest that used to function as a protector of natural ecosystems began eroded.
