Catch “Drain the Great Lakes” on the Discovery Channel The
Discovery Channel’s Drain the Great Lakes dives below the
surface of the Great Lakes. See the underwater topography of
each lake and learn about shipwrecks, submerged waterfalls,
craters and invasive species. The lakes hold almost 20 percent
of the world’s surface freshwater … but what if the water was
gone? The program explores some of the man-made and natural
wonders underneath the waters, and exposes the geographic
uniqueness of the giant water bowls that surround us. Using some
cool computer imagery, the Discovery folks take viewers on a
pretty fantastic voyage that would appeal to Great Lakes,
history or technology geeks. The special premiered on Sunday,
and will play again today at 8 p.m. Tune in to get a unique view
of the region. Check out the Discovery Channel’s behind the
scenes footage of documentary production.
