About the Picture Slideshow/Slide Show:
        NIAGARA Falls a set of massive waterfalls located on the Niagara River in eastern North America, on the border between the United States and Canada.


Niagara Falls (French: chutes Niagra) comprises three separate waterfalls: the Horseshoe Falls (sometimes called the Canadian Falls), the American Falls, and the smaller, adjacent Bridal Veil Falls. While not exceptionally high, Niagara Falls is very wide. With more than
168,000 cubic metres (6 million cubic feet) of water falling over the crestline every minute ,it is the most powerful waterfall in North America and possibly the best-known in the world.

The name "Niagara" is said to originate from an Iroquois word "Onguiaahra" meaning "The Strait."


The Falls drop about 170 feet (52 m), although the American Falls have a clear drop of only 70 feet (21 m) before reaching a jumble of fallen rocks which were deposited by a massive rock slide in 1954. The larger Canadian Falls are about 2,600 feet (792 m) wide, while the American Falls are 1,060 feet (323 m) wide.

The volume of water approaching the Falls during peak flow season is 202,000 ft�/s (5,720 m�/s).1,2 During the summer months, when maximum diversion of water for hydroelectric power occurs, 100,000 ft�/s (2,832 m�/s) of water actually traverses the Falls, some 90% of which goes over the Horseshoe Falls. This volume is further halved at night, when most of the diversion to hydroelectric facilities occur.
