The New York City Waterfalls


Visitors to New York this summer will find something unusual even for this celebrated city — four monumental, man-made waterfalls in the East River along the shores of Brooklyn, Manhattan and Governors Island.

Danish artist Olafur Eliasson is the creator of the public art, titled "The New York City Waterfalls,". Commissioned by the Public Art Fund (they cost about $15 million), the project is said to have been designed to protect water quality and aquatic life.
