  • Do Niagara Falls Self-Purify Niagara River Trough Natural Froth Formation Process
    How Does the Niagara Whirlpool Get Involved in Niagara River Self- Purification? Anatoliy I Fisenko ONCFEC, Inc., 909 Lake Street, Suite 909, St. Catharines, Ontario L2R 5Z4, Canada E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The Niagara River self-purification through the natural formation of froth at a site of the Niagara Whirlpool basin has been investigated. It is shown that the naturally formed froth on the water surface of the Niagara Whirlpool contains a greater concentration of nutrients, trace metals and phenol in comparison to subsurface water. The natural pollutants removal process is explained in detail. As a result, the Niagara River at the Niagara Whirlpool basin possesses its own natural capacity to self-purify through the natural formation of froth. We can conclude that the Niagara Whirlpool is a natural source of Niagara River self-purification. The necessity for the long-term research on the sites of Niagara River for developing the remediation strategies is pointed out. Key Words: natural froth formation; Niagara River, Niagara Whirlpool, non-point sources, pollution, self-purification. 1. Introduction It is well-known that rivers have a natural environmental capacity to self-purify their polluted sites, including the entire water and the benthic soil, through a complex of the chemical (oxidation, hydrolysis, photochemical reactions and others), the physical (sedimentation, evaporation, aeration and others), and the biological natural self-purification processes (Drinan and Spellman, 2001; Beyers and Odum, 1993; Grice and Reeve, 1982; Ostroumov, 1999; Klein, 1957; Vavilin, 1983; Loo and Rosenberg, 1989; Sommer, 1998; Hily, 1991; Mandi et al., 1996; Robach et al., 1991; Stimson et al.

Due to fluctuating COVID-19 restrictions, we recommend visitors contact businesses directly to confirm availability. NEW IN 2021 NEW – Niagara Parks Power Station The Best New Things to See and Do in Canada in 2021– The Globe and Mail, Jan 19, 2021 Beginning July 30th, 2021, Niagara Parks will launch a new landmark attraction just south of the Horseshoe Falls in Niagara Falls. By day, visitors can explore the preserved interior of the historic power station, transformed with new exhibits and guest amenities, while each night, an immersive sound & light experience brings the building to life through state-of-the-art projection mapping technology. The first major power plant on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, the Niagara Parks Power Station was completed in 1905 to produce hydroelectricity by leveraging the power of the Niagara River. Beyond its stunning architectural features and landscape design, the power station was one of the first in the world to undertake a major tunnel project, with water entering through the forebay and dropping 180 feet before being expelled into a 2,000 foot tunnel that emptied into the lower Niagara River, right at the base of the Horseshoe Falls. A marvel of engineering and architecture, the station’s generators were the largest of their kind, followed shortly after by those at the Toronto Power Generating Station located a short distance south.
