But there's the niggling issue of taking water away from the main attraction--the falls themselves. What's the word on the amount of water to be diverted? Wikipedia gives the average flow over the falls as 110,000 cubic meters per minute; I'm wondering what portion of that we're talking about... Liked the Niagara piece, but it has me wondering:

Alter-Air Corp of Tempe, AZ helped the students. The students formed a company, Watel Solutions. They hope to sell them to their home countries in Africa. It is called The Rain Box, and requires 60% humidity to operate. They won first prize in a Intel-ASU Tech Entrepreneur Challenge, they then won third prize at the world finals of this competition, also scooping up the Peoples Choice Award. With all the winnings they built a prototype for testing. Produces 40 gallon per day.

It must have been a really incredible thing to do - very envious! Mark Ty,
