Wilson Inlet sandbar opening 2024
On Wednesday 25 September 2024, Nullaki (Wilson Inlet) was opened. Wilson Inlet is located near the town of Denmark, on the south coast of Western Australia. The water level was approximately 0.88 mAHD at the time of opening. The channel was cut approximately 50 m from the western cliffs’ reference point.
By Thursday 26 September, the outgoing flow had scoured the bar to a width of about 50 m. About 2 GL of water was discharged into the ocean in the first 24 hours after opening.
The sandbar between Wilson Inlet and the ocean has been dug open almost every year for the last century to manage flooding of low-lying areas. As a result, many aspects of the inlet’s ecology now rely on regular op...

    I think it is misleading to say there are no driving emissions when there are charging emissions. These (charging - not driving) emissions can be higher than good internal combustion engine vehicle, and usually higher than an equivalent hybrid as the GHG intensity of the WA grid is high relative to say Norway where EVs make sense. Even if you use solar to charge your vehicle the electricity you don't export will be replaced by gas. The GHG intensity of making an EV is also much higher which is difficult to recover. The solution is V2G so the GHG intensity of the grid can be economically reduced so there will be a benefit. Search Arena, Green Vehicle guide and AEMO.

      How long the water takes to reach equilibrium with the ocean depends on several factors including rainfall (which influences how much river flow continues to enter the estuary). In 2023 it took approximately two weeks for the inlet and ocean to reach equilibrium.

      The sandbar is opened to prevent flooding of low-lying land. If the sandbar is not opened then private and public land, including several roads, could be underwater. The inlet has been opened in this way for more than 100 years and many aspects of the inlet’s ecology (like fish, seagrass and birds) now rely on regular openings of the sandbar.

    I've seen many videos on You Tube showing the opening of this sand bar practically every year. What I wonder, is why the waste of time, effort, and energy to dig a channel 100 yards into the estuary? If you just dig out the sand bar from the estuary to the ocean, the flow will erode a natural channel. As it is, the outgoing flow basically ignores the channel that has been dug and erodes away the rest of the sand bar and the channels that were dug. Lot of extra effort put in that nature does for free.

    • @Graham_Langley
      @Graham_Langley 9 месяцев назад

      Simple enough I'd have thought. The freshwater channel has to be dug back into deep water to ensure there's enough flow to scour a channel. Not far enough and it'll stall as the level drops.

    • @donandersonjr.5086
      @donandersonjr.5086 9 месяцев назад

      The sand bar forms over the year. It creates a dam that prevents the river from draining to the sea. If you see how much area is flooded at the start of the video and how many feet it drops at the end of the video. There is a copse of woods that you can barely see the tops of the trees and shrubs. At the end of the video you can see the shore of this little delta island.
