Anatomy of a Waterfall

from Intellectually Curious · host Mike Breault

We unpack the physics of waterfalls —ballistic jets, air entrainment, and cavitation—and explain why engineers are embracing rough, chaotic channels to save fish. From the waterfall’s temporary self-erasure to rock ramps that slow and rest the current, this episode reframes human progress through nature’s messy efficiency.Note:  This podcast was AI-generated, and sometimes AI can make mistakes.  Please double-check any critical information.Sponsored by Embersilk LLC
