Amazing engineering: SKY POOL

SKY-HIGH GLASS BOTTOMED CANTILEVER POOL 

With summer about to kick off,... how about swimming in a pool between two skyscrapers? If you ever get a chance to take a dip, you probably wouldn't want to look down because it's transparent. The world's first floating pool,... suspended more than one hundred feet above ground level is open in the UK. As Britain had its warmest day of the year so far on Monday, some Londoners were spotted at the pool,... taking in the city's iconic skyline views including the London Eye and the Houses of Parliament while they swam. The pool located near the U.S. Embassy is about 10 feet deep and reportedly filled with three-hundred-75 tons of water

Spillway - Aliviadero (Amazing Engineering)

Beautiful star-shaped spillway, Kechut Reservoir, Jermuk, Armenia

A spillway is a structure used to provide the controlled release of flows from a dam or levee into a downstream area, typically being the river that was dammed.  Spillways release floods so that the water does not overtop and damage or even destroy the dam. Except during flood periods, water does not normally flow over a spillway.
