Artificial Waterfalls Rival Nature in Europe
A Detroit Free Press excerpt surveys notable artificial waterfalls in Europe. It highlights a 20 foot cascade in Nice overlooking the town, Tivoli near Rome with multiple cascades likely around 800 feet tall, and a dramatic 1,000 foot Surlej falls near St Moritz formed by glacier melt and alpine dams. The Surley river event in 1834 caused a landslide that reshaped Surlej and created the artificial cataract, with remnants of a ruined church and frescoes visible. It notes the falls as scenic curiosities and a cautionary tale of floods reshaping alpine villages.
