Grabbed The Opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) grabbed this opportunity to examine the exposed river bed and took aerial photographs to devise a long-term plan to preserve Niagara Falls. However, work came to a halt six hours later when the river flow returned to normal.
Laying A Foundation
This short exercise lay a foundation for work carried out at a later stage. Two years later, the American Falls International Board was initiated by the IJC. They came to the conclusion that the only way to solve the erosion issue was to completely drain the Falls.
