Anatomy of a Waterfall


Listen Later

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.
