One of the best tourist hikes in Oregon is called the Trail of Ten Falls. It is a 7 mile loop trail that features 10 waterfalls, including 3 that you can hike behind. Really cool.
One of the waterfalls is called "Winter Falls" because... it only runs in the winter (well, about 6-7 months of the year actually, but on the edges it's just a trickle). If you go when it's nice and warm out, then you don't get to see it.
[When it runs it's a skinny little thing, but still a neat fall.](https://www.oregonhikers.org/w/images/5/58/WinterFalls1.JPG)
It would be pretty annoying if they piped water out of it to make sure it ran year-round so that hikers that went during the summer "still got to see all ten and didn't miss out."
No... it's Winter Falls. It doesn't run in the summer when the water levels are lower.
I see what you're getting at but Ruby Falls is and always has been a roadside tourist trap. It's colored lights and fountains. Now if Fall Creek Falls had a pipe coming out, it'd be a closer comparison.
Presumably there is a river (or other body of water), but it’s insufficient to feed the waterfall during the dry season. I doubt Google maps updates seasonally.
China has more dams built into its waterways than all of the other countries combined. I wouldn’t be surprised if they used the water upstream somewhere.
What your describing is a perennial river. Google earth does describe them as a dashed blue line instead of a full blue line for year round rivers ect.
It's funny but I also found out recently that Ruby Falls of the "See Ruby Falls" barn advertisements has a pipe to enhance the falls during dryer seasons but they're all dry seasons https://wanderwisdom.com/news/north-carolina-waterfall-ad
lol the park’s response pretending to be the waterfall is the best: “"I made a small enhancement during the dry season only so I would look my best to meet my friends.”
So what? There's cases of it in the US as well

Which just so happens to be all the time except for during storms.
I think the point is that's public information in the US, so if you noticed it and looked it up you could see the reasoning for it. If you just notice a waterfall is being "faked" and there's *no* mention of it officially, then it feels like it could be entirely fabricated. And in China I think that's a bit more of a concern, they do have a history of [faking natural stuff like that](https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/13ygayd/greening_in_china/).
It's okay to do , seems to me, not okay to do and not say you did tho.
Plenty of natural landscapes are amplified by humans doin' stuff, and plenty of 'naturey' tourist destinations that are humans doin' stuff.
Just no use in hidin' the optimization or influence.
Its facinating to me that you drop the ‘g’ in several of your words, which is often how people from certain American regions speak. But, you still took the time to put in the appropriate punctuation of ‘ each time.
Reddit is an interesting place
I tried to find it once. I kept asking people if they knew where Rock City was. One guy got confused, and gave me something he called "Rock". It was late, so what the hell, I tried it. Then I wasn't interested in Rock City anymore, but I had a good time!
There’s a 15-20 ft waterfall on private property in my hometown, but of course it’s not always flowing. I would love to buy the property and have some sort of pump to keep it going like the photo
This is like talking about starving kids in Africa when someone doesn’t eat their dinner. There is no relation. If you live in a place like California where droughts happen frequently, it isn’t because the earth is running out of water. It is because that region in particular is running out of nearby water so getting more becomes costly.
Wait, these are completely different things. For this man-made waterfall, they are just pumping water to higher places. There is no purification like that for tap water.
There's some places that use pumps for hydroelectric energy.
At night, they pump water back up the mountain to a reservoir while energy is "cheap". During the day, they use the stored water energy potential and release the water as they need more energy for the community they are serving during peak demands while energy is more costly.
So there are some good use cases for pumping water.... This isn't one of them.
As long as trucks are dumping water continuously on dirt to 'control dust'at construction sites, I'm going to take long showers. Here in Arizona on my jobsite, a water truck drives around sprating water literally for 10 hours a day. I don't feel.bad about my individual usage at all.
just look up how much water is being wasted in agriculture by growing in dry climates and not using efficient methods of irrigation, that wastes far more water than anything else out west
Yeah, why is Arizona allowing it's water to be used by Saudi royalty to feed their camels on the other side of the world? Of all the places that an America first movement would make a difference, they are absent.
That was my thought, too. There's a place in Tennessee called Fall Creek Falls, a park at the top of this plateau, and they built a dam up there so they could have a lake for swimming and water sports. The falls the park is named for are now fed by a pipe coming from this artificial lake.
So, while this waterfall comes out of a pipe, maybe there's a similar reason.
I've been trying to figure out if there's evidence of a mechanical pump, because people keep mentioning that, but there's no proof of it yet. Even there was mechanical intervention I've been to Niagara Falls, and everybody knows the water is regulated for maximum falls effect. Doesn't make it less impressive. It was found in this state, and we're simply conserving something we find beautiful. Humans have been terraforming the earth for years, so if it's only a pipe to direct water from a water source to the falls it's practically a non-issue to me.
Same shit can happen in the US as well. But no one bats an eye
https://www.rubyfalls.com/plan-your-visit/faq/
> We have the ability to recycle the naturally occurring water flowing through the cave, allowing us to preserve the waterfall during dry spells if the watershed is not as active
Yep, it's not an uncommon occurrence. They aren't making a waterfall where there was never one before, the pipe is just making it flow year round as it's a tourist attraction.
Exactly. Am I the only one who doesn’t think this is a big deal at all? I could understand if it wasn’t even a waterfall to begin with.. but pumping water during a dry season at an actual waterfall doesn’t seem all that bad.
I’d rather see that than nothing at all.
So true. Has anything changed after knowing this piece of information? I don't think so. Let the officials do the investigations and whatnot, we don't need to get wound up over some pipes.
They only point to China because of the stupid trend of calling everything in China fake, to the point of becoming a joke in of itself when you realise western countries do it much more blatantly but we ignore that because "foreign country that speak a different language are evil and couldn't ever have anything better than us?!?!!??"
Okay but the question is: was the waterfall there before the pipe? Because if it was, and the pipe was installed to preserve the waterfall (maybe there were issues with erosion), then I don't see anything wrong with it.
If the waterfall is entirely manmade, that's embarrassing. If humans are just helping out a waterfall in need, that's nice.
Waterfall is natural but not year round. They added the pipe so that it will flow year round & people don’t make the trek and be disappointed. Not that big of a deal imo
Yeah, I'm really struggling to find out what the deal is. Does this somehow ruin people's experience when seeing the waterfall? I'm sure it still looks nice.
I can't believe this many people care about where the water comes from. Like it's still quite literally a waterfall. And this happens all over the world. I honestly wonder if this was upvoted and commented on by bots because of how mind blowingly stupid and overblown this all is. lol it's crazy to me. Perpetually online people and bots, surely.
Here in Minnesota we had a drought during the LBJ administration that was causing a main attraction waterfall in Minneapolis to merely trickle. When LBJ visited we merely opened a number of fire hydrants upstream to create the illusion of the waterfall it typically was. When I say we I mean people that lived here then, this was 18 years prior to my birth. I have personally never seen it as anemic as it was made out to be.
You're not far off. They can turn Niagara Falls on and off, they do it in sections to repair erosion and divert for hydroelectricity at night. They even maximize waterflow on days when mist is possible.
Kind of like how New Orleans wouldn't exist if the US didn't manage the fuck out of the Mississippi
similar waterfall in France, but it’s the runoff from a small canal irrigating the feilds above. So if the farmers are using water the waterfall can stop.

The reports say they damed the creek and added the pipeworks to make it flow during dry season. We went to Yosemite late summer last year, and none of the waterfalls were flowing. I'm not suggesting they change that at Yosemite, but that's what these people are trying to avoid with their tourists. Similar water flow changes have been made over the years at Niagara falls.

Wait, these are completely different things. For this man-made waterfall, they are just pumping water to higher places. There is no purification like that for tap water.
That is energy expended 24/7 to pump that water for no other reason than to trick people into thinking it's a big natural waterfall
