Need plants to provide surface coverage in moving water.

Are there any plants that will do well in moving water? The lilies have failed because of too much splashing water and current. I would like to plant something that would provide surface coverage since the garden is pretty much in full sun. The water fall is located such that it creates a lot of water movement & splash. Any help?

Doug says that most floating plants prefer still water. You might try water hyacinth as they're the toughest ones I can think of off the top of my head.
