Well, if the water level doesn't drop anymore I can tell you where exactly the leak is:

Its exactly on the water level

not quite so simple.

Water level delta = water pouring in via waterfall - water lost to evaporation - water lost to leak.

Water lost to leak may be based on water pressure (depth), as well as water saturation underneath.   Evaporation will vary on sunlight and humidity.   Water intake varies on upstream supply.   And if the drop took place over years, it's pretty subtle on day to day basis.

Looking for a torn piece in the liner seems more straightforward, though with the murk and trees, still not an easy one.   Can the water fall be closed off for a while to let water level decrease further?
