I agree with Neuro that 10 stops is overkill for a waterfall and that 3-6 stops should do you fine.  Below is a link to a shot of a steam that I took with a 10 stop -- the exposure time was brutal (something like 2-3 minutes).  You can get the same effect with a lot less waiting around.

And don't forget, you are usually shooting a waterfall with a small aperture, f11-f22, to maximize depth of field. So the 3 stop is likely plenty.
