In 1969 the Army Corps of Engineers de-watered Niagara Falls in order to remove unsightly talus at the base of the Falls. These are photos of what the Falls looked like when they were de-watered.

You just need to call a good plumber, or use a lot of duct tape............NYUK NYUK NYUK..........................................Sorr y..............My fault.

I was there when they stopped the flow. At the time they figured they couldn't stop the collapse of the rock base.

If dishuser is right maybe they have some new ideas on what to do now.
