According to the New York State Park, 3160 tons of water flows through Niagara Falls every second. Which falls at the rate of 32 feet per second. 9 years ago in 2014 the water of the spring also became ice in the air. Due to the temperature being -12 degrees, the river further on was completely frozen. The ice in the river was harvested by icebreaker boats. So that the flow of water remains. However, in some places, the ice had become so strong that it was difficult to break it.
