Why water streams change size as they fall

A science brief explains that water speeds up as it falls, forcing a constant flow rate to pass per second. To keep volume steady, the stream cross section narrows with speed, so at high velocity the jet nears zero diameter. Air resistance and surface tension also affect natural examples like waterfalls and molasses streams.
