Drowned Buildings

“Buildings of different purposes, rising out of lakes and rivers, submerged in gallons of water - the places where people once lived and worked, a homes to weeds and fishes now. These buildings were flooded and drowned by men's own doing, in their hurry to change nature's path for dams and reservoirs.”

The World Geography recently offered these photos of “drowned buildings” rising out of the water:

There are also areas in New England with drowned villages (although they are usually well under water). These include the Scituate Reservoir in Rhode Island and the Quabbin Reservoir in Massachusetts. When these reservoirs were built, the structures in the affected communities were dissembled (and in some cases moved), although the foundations remain.
