When the American side of the Niagara Falls was turned off

(3D Satellite)

(Update: another article with more photos and a history of the falls and hydropower. "Throughout the night and winter, around 75% of the water is diverted to hydroelectric plants. However, in the summer and days when tourists are more likely to be at the waterfalls, the local businesses only divert 50% of the water. This is to try and help keep it looking powerful." And another article. You have to fight the advertisements and scroll a ways to find photos of the dry falls. And another)
