suspension renewed

In the movie Avatar, one of the floating mountains has a waterfall, at which my suspension of disbelief groaned: there’s not enough rain catchment area, and obviously there can’t be a spring.

But now I thought of a possibility. There wasn’t any sign that the waterfall flows continuously. So maybe the mountain has a concavity (however shallow), which spills over when something – such as a steady wind from one direction – tips it.
