The name of Niagara Falls comes from the Indian language, which means "water of the god of thunder". It is the general name of three waterfalls on the Niagara River in the Great Lakes region of North America.

Niagara Falls is famous for its beautiful scenery, huge hydroelectric power generation capacity and extremely challenging environmental protection projects.
