Well yes I know they divert most of the water because I get my power from the NYS power authority through SME very cheap electricity and do you know who Nicholi Tesla was? I am amazed with the power generated on the river at Niagara and Massina NY. They say that 75K gallons of water goes over the falls every second during the day. If you have never been there its a must see, we just happened to be close by and stopped. Loads of people from Japan were there today. I was ready to make like the squirrel in the OP for a while today because of the heat.
