Discovery commissions a new reality show in which design engineers compete by creating magnificent marvels - like waterworks.


A reality TV show that inspires with ... intelligence? Contestants who have to compete for excellence through ... engineering?

Discovery has commissioned a magnificent-sounding new reality show in which contestants who will have to be clever, will have to face-off in an engineering reality show that will involve them creating and building dazzling and eye-popping installations like engineered waterfalls.

The as yet untitled show will have 8 episodes and will be set at WET (Water Entertainment Technologies) in Los Angeles who've created engineering marvels such as the Fountains of Bellagio at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas as well as The Dubai Fountain, the world's biggest man-made fountain.

Design engineers will be put to the test in extreme challenges with time running out, to come up and create whiz-works that's a blend of creativity, applied intelligence, craftmanship and originality - and which works.
