Model Studies of Remedial Works for Niagara Falls
Model studies of the Niagara River and of Niagara Falls were conducted in the period from 1950 to 1953 to determine how the scenic beauty of the falls would be affected by the additional diversions of the Niagara waters for power authorized under the United States-Canadian Treaty of 1950. The locations and designs of the remedial works required to compensate for these effects and to preserve and enhance the beauty of the Niagara River and Niagara Falls were also determined. Results of the model tests indicated that three separate remedial works would be required. These consist of a Chippawa-Grass Island gated control structure extending out from the Canadian shore; an excavation at the Canadian flank of the Horseshoe Falls, with a 100-ft crest fill; and an excavation at the Goat Island flank of the Horseshoe Falls, with a 300-ft crest fill.
