World tallest manmade waterfall Imagine strolling down a bustling street and, glancing upwards, you're met with an incredible sight—the Liebian Square in Guiyang City, Guizhou Province, China. This engineering wonder boasts a unique feature—an awe-inspiring urban waterfall. Activated only for special occasions, this captivating spectacle operates at a cost of $118 per hour. To conserve resources, it runs for just 20 minutes each time. The water is propelled to the top of the skyscraper by four powerful 250 hp or 185 kilowatt pumps, cascading down from a height of 354 feet or 108 meters—the world's tallest man-made waterfall. Eco-consciousness prevails in this design, as tap water is ingeniously recycled through an underground storage system. However, this groundbreaking creation sparked mixed reactions. Some applaud its brilliance, while others criticize it for water and electricity consumption. What are your thoughts on this captivating urban marvel?

Looks impressive. What is the evaporation rate ? It's not sustainable.
Bueno, si el agua es reciclada y cae en un lago o río que pasa por allí, bueno no asumo tanto problema, pero el verdadero problema es el consumo para provocar esto, lo considero económicamente innecesario pero visualmente increíble, esa cantidad de agua puede servir para otras cosas que solo arrojarla, bueno para gustos los colores están.... 👍
Interesante, innovar es parte de considerar un mejor vivir para la comunidad, al costo que sea, esa agua puede ser destinada a utilizarla en áreas verdes de espacios públicos.
And how did this water climb up to this level? db
What's the hp of the pump used?
Я погоджуюся
Thank you for your sharing.
Çok faydalı.
