Gotta be a lot of wasted energy pumping that water up, too.

"Its just spring water, bro. That shit never runs out."
What about when summer comes? You can’t have spring water then
Yeah! And don't even get me started on Fall water
It's okay, it's hydro powered.
It’s not wasted energy. The water now has potential energy from its height.
smh
So I think the important thing here is how this waterfall is being explained to visitors. If it's open information that the waterfall only flows naturally in certain months and is artifical in others and people still want to see it when it's artificial that's fine. However it seems this is being sold as a natural waterfall when it's artifical part of year which is the problem.
Bases on thr park's comments, it seems the move to make it artifical part of the year stems from their lack of openness that it only flows naturally part of the year. In comparison, Yosemite National Park (US) has a whole web page explaining when the waterfalls flow and the peak months to see them. https://www.yosemite.com/yosemite-waterfalls-spring/?amp=1 In my opinion, his park should be more open about the natural flow months so visitors can choose when to visit.
Typical “Made in China” quality.
I don't think it's an issue of what they've done. I'm sure everyone makes a change to such tourist attractions to aid tourism or nature.
What's weird is that they lie about it. Anyone else would have issued a news article, even a local one, saying the rivers are dry and this is what we have done to save tourism/nature etc etc.
These fucks blatantly hide the truth because it makes it look like everything is perfect. And they do a fine job of it. This country is one one of the finest built bullshit producing machine and it won't change until someone at the top decides to have a change of heart.

It’s dry season, let’s dump more water to enhance visitor satisfaction.
It's like when they were spraying the trees with green paint.
China is doing a bit
Yes! This is what this sub is for
I've found the article here, gone in, and immediately forgot that it wasn't the onion as it didn't sound like something remotely true. Then I was immediately confused about how they'd made the satire look so real, with even fake-pipe photos. That's been a confusing 5 minutes...
And we just use a dam to control flow rate instead… https://www.niagaraparks.com/visit-niagara-parks/plan-your-visit/niagara-falls-geology-facts-figures/
