    Water is one of the least appreciated resources and is so often taken for granted. I wish people would focus their efforts on things that matter like water conservation instead of the latest consumerist thing the media is trying to distract us with.

    It could be the US, the website didn't clearly specify. This particular tunnel was cut through an oxbow in the river to power an iron manufacturing operation known as Pattison Forge. Having seen the place its pretty amazing that it was dug by hand.

    Nashville, TN

    There is a small park called Narrows of the Harpeth. It is the site of one of the oldest man-made tunnels in existence today. Montgomery Bell, an early iron industrialist had the tunnel built in 1818. The 100 yard tunnel was hand cut through solid rock and is considered one of the great engineering feats of the time. It is an industrial landmark on the National Register of Historic Places.

    Its pretty neat and you can even hike through it on low water days. I love atlas obscura for this stuff.

    True, even if it was a simple tree with out identifiable names I bet it would look pretty amazing.

    To your question of is there anything we can do about it? On the off chance others are as lazy as I am, I would say use the RESIST bot. It makes me feel like I am doing something with very little work on my end. I will just keep tossing my pebbles in the bucket, hopefully it helps.
