The Fairytale Theory.
Gravity on a round earth pulls you towards the center of the sphere.
That's why people living south of the equator don't fall off.

But here is the flaw.
A sphere is a 360 degrees circle.
The waters could never flow in any other direction on a sphere because gravity immobilizes the waters towards the center of that sphere. The waters could never flow like in the rivers and the streams like we see on the real earth, the moment gravity would stop pulling the waters towards its center this is what would happen.

But on the flat earth like we live on, this isn't a problem. The rivers and streams flow and although gravity is really pulling the waters towards its center the waters due to the angular slopes of the landscape flow until they reach sea-level.
