Locals Were Terrified
During this operation, the locals had two main concerns. The first one was that they were afraid of the waters since it’s a dangerous thing to block the natural path a river has. What if the waters flooded their land? The second one was about tourists. The locals were nervous that the lack of water would cause a decrease in the number of people who would come and see the Falls.
Lack Of Water
Those who believed that too many people would come to see what was hidden beneath the Falls and that it would be too much for them were mistaken. Others believed that the exact opposite would be true.
