Six Months Without Water

After the Corps of Engineers completed the dam, water stopped falling over Niagara Falls for about six months. During this time, the engineers, historians, and construction workers planned to work together to remove the rocks and debris. At the time, they had no idea what hid underneath the innocent-looking rocks.

However, before the teams could start their work, something bizarre happened: tourists began descending on the Falls in droves. Drained Niagara Falls was more interesting than ever, it seemed! Now the team had yet another conundrum on their hands: finishing the project as quickly as possible or let tourism continue to flourish?
