Pouring water down a 50 meter well

newtboyjokingly says...

It accelerates at up to 9.8m/s^2 (- wind resistance)but terminal velocity can be well below or above 9.8m/s, depending on how (or if) it breaks up.

(I could only find terminal velocity data for droplets up to 3mm, and studies did show droplet stability up to 6mm outside laminar flows)
