As July cranks up the heat, we’re bringing you something cool—literally.
Need a moment of calm? Hit play on our Ice Boom ASMR video and let the soothing sounds of frozen Lake Erie wash over you. From the low rumble of ice shifting to the satisfying thud of the boom hitting the sand, this video taps into the relaxing power of autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR).
NYPA's ice boom plays a crucial role in hydropower generation and asset management. By reducing the amount of ice that flows from Lake Erie to the Niagara River, the boom ensures uninterrupted water flow for hydroelectric power production and protects shoreline property from ice damage. This effective tool helps safeguard hydropower operations and preserve the integrity of our infrastructure.
Made up of a series of steel pontoons, the boom minimizes ice transfer, ensuring the efficient management of hydropower assets and maintaining the stability of our systems.
