In this video I show you the awesome science behind water bridges. I expose a very intriguing fact, that is that you don't need to design water bridges to hold the weight of the boats that cross it. This is a very unique phenomenon with water bridges. I talk about the Magdeburg Water Bridge. This is a large navigable aqueduct in central Germany, located near Magdeburg.

Surprisingly this bridge and others like it only need to hold the weight of the water, but not the weight of the boats! Watch the video to find out why!
