In 1920 and in 1977 attempts were made to build a hydroelectric power station on the site of the waterfall which would lead to the destruction of the waterfall. During this time the waterfall area was rented Toumasom Toumassonom and Laxness Hadldourssonom for foreign investors. However investors attempts to build a hydroelectric power station here did not succeed in part because of a lack of money and subsequently the waterfall was sold to the government of Iceland .
