Niagara Falls without water, 1969 For six months in 1969 North Americas most iconic waterfall was purposely “de-watered”. This was done by the US army corps of engineers, because they wanted to conduct a geological survey of the falls’ rock face. They were concerned that it was becoming too destabilized from erosion. In order to do this the army had to built a 600ft (182 m) dam across the Niagara River. This dam consisted of 27,800 tons of rock. In November 1969 in front of 2,650 spectators, the

ENGINEERS DRAINED NIAGARA FALLS In 1969, engineers did the unthinkable when they shut off the American Falls, one of the three waterfalls of Niagara. By diverting the river with a temporary dam, they exposed the dry riverbed for several months. The goal was to study erosion, which has always been the driving force behind Niagara’s retreat. The falls erode because soft shale beneath the hard limestone cap is constantly worn away, causing massive rock collapses. Engineers and geologists wanted to

🌊 On This Day | June 12, 1969 55 years ago today, something truly remarkable happened at Niagara Falls. The thunderous roar of the American Falls was silenced. Engineers from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers completely dewatered the American Falls to study the underlying rock face and assess the long-term stability of the cliff. From June 12 to November 24, 1969, the world witnessed a rare and eerie sight — the American Falls dry and still, as experts worked to better understand and preserve th

In 1969, Niagara Falls, one of the world’s most powerful waterfalls came to a complete stop. The American Falls were dewatered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to study and prevent erosion. Over 27,000 tons of rock were used to build a temporary dam, diverting the Niagara River and exposing the waterfall’s bed for the first time in centuries. This unprecedented project allowed scientists to study the falls and remove decades of debris, including coins and shipwreck remnants. After six months,
