The answer was that not much good would happen and a lot of people would be very pissed off.
This question comes from David, who asks: what would happen if one tried to funnel Niagara Falls through a straw? The short answer is: one would get in troublewith the International Niagara Committee, the International Niagara Board of Control, the International Joint Commission, the International Niagara Board Working Committee, and probably the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River Adaptive Management Committee.
