Niagara Power Project is a power plant that supplies a large portion of New York State's electricity by harnessing the energy from the Niagara river and the waterfall. It was fun to learn about how electricity is made from water power. Did you know that the Power Authority alters the amount of water it allows to flow through the waterfall depending on the time of day and season? (During the daylight hours in the tourist season, they put more water through the waterfall for the tourist's enjoyment, and at night and winter they take more of the water away for making electricity!)
