Don't bother with the waterfall. They need constant cleaning due to the water being "open" for everything to fall into it. They only recirculate the water over and over until you change it. Most chams don't drink from them anyway and they don't raise cage humidity much at all. Misters, drippers, and an ultrasonic humidifier in combinations (depending on your climate in your house and the hydration needs of the chams you keep) work much better.

Misters are better than waterfalls. Waterfalls should also be avoided as bacteria can be a problem. Chameleons will rarely drink from standing water, and misters or drippers are highly recommended.
Misters are probably the most effective in delivering water to your chameleon. They can be set to mist at intervals throughout the day so you don't have to worry about running out of water while you are out of the house. The two disadvantages to a mister is cost and noise. Pumps generally start at about $100. And some pumps can be a little on the noisy side.
