Oct 30th, 2016: Dry Niagara

[xoxoxoBruce]

Dry Niagara - American Dry Falls - In June 1969, to prevent erosion and clear debris U.S. engineers diverted the flow of the
Niagara River away from the American side of the falls for several months.

Did you see it, didja, didja? I did.
Walked upstream to see the cofferdam, across the dry(ish) river bed to the island, and over to the Canadian side for this sort of view.
We watch them pour different colored dyes into cracks in the riverbed and watch to see where they emerged in the face of the falls.

They decided there was no way to stop the erosion of the face and clearing debris was not practical.
The final score:
Army Corps of Engineers = 0
Mother Nature = 1
