Niagara
Issues - Forebay Groundwater running
along the same or similar bedding planes of geological strata in the lower
(downstream) end of the gorge of the Niagara River may be expected to also
run into the forebay at the power generating facility of the New York Power
Authority, excavated along the gorge face. Seepage displayed here, frozen in
early March, would run perpendicular to that in the gorge caprock: here
flowing south, but flowing westward into the west-facing or American side of
the gorge. These pictures were taken from the parking lot of the Power Vista
just north of Niagara University, March 2003. Artpark, the NYPA forebay, and
reservoir and Devil's Hole State Park all occur in the town of Lewiston, New
York in Niagara County. Forebay, the Reservoir and Devil's Hole occur above
the north-facing, east-west oriented Niagara Escarpment.
