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...

Ok. Yup. I LOVE these videos. But. What I love most is the water carving out a path. I know...I'm not expressing myself as clearly as I'd like....but. watching a natural breach... the water carving a way through. Yeah. That does it for me. THAT is what I'm looking for. Like the natural breach at black rock. That's my thing I'm looking for....?.
By whose legitimate authority is the original name changed?

Wondering if there's a reason why the angle has the lake water running into the coastline, vs angling out away from the coastline. I assume impact studies have determined this. But, just curious. Thanks.
All the homeless here and starving children, cost of living crisis but the government put their energy into banning plastic food containers and trying to ruin small businesses
i wonder if this was shot at hanks corner and i wonder if it was shot on June the 14th.
yes at Hanks corner and we did late afternoon Friday 14th June. :)
hard to say that I am shocked
Ah yes, change your recycled plastics for single use plastics
First😂
Never swim near one of these, the water is often badly polluted
Enough with changing the names. Fair Dinkum.
Woke Pushing Communist !
Just lay a pipe so that the two are constantly connected
That would be fun to kayak!
The water Corp governs this beautiful natural resource.....leave it alone !!!!
a 6" trench would have done it, once the water flows it takes the remaining sand with it. There are countless examples on RUclips of this very thing.
The pelicans were enjoying the show, too.
You could have those same results with a hand shovel, once the water starts to flow the rest cascades along and widens. It might even take less time given that the flow will start a day or two earlier.
How can this ever naturally breach?
Flood waters each and every year....but this area has been in relative drought for almost 100 years.
Does breaching the inlet also clean out the water from the non-ocean side?
This is the way it was before we screwed it up
❗ "Promosm"
Interfereing with the natural order of things. Estuaries are supposed to get flooded, it is necessary to keep them healthy as ecosystems.
While this is true for many estuaries, Wilson Inlet has been opened in this way for more than 100 years and many aspects of the inlet’s ecology have adapted and now rely on regular openings of the sandbar.
Only council knows how nature works, leave it alone
Interesting factoid: The water actually travels uphill to get to the sea. It's because of the Moon.

Takes an army of gov employees to open a river mouth. Few dudes with shovels and jobs done. Typical government overspending.
Digging at an angle protects the channel from wave action that is dumping sand back into the channel and trying to block it up. As the channel deepens through scouring action that overwhelms the wave action.......
@@JohnSmith-pl2bk with no water flowing from rain into the rivers it does not work.
@@westaussieeggs8867 The "normal" scouring action of a swift running river does by sheer force usually keep the mouth open...but can also result in a "bar" ... I agree stagnant/slow water won't normally keep the mouth open.... but this coast also has a huge amount of sand and gravel being washed with the current flow IN THE SEA.... which can overcome a river flow.... help from a digger getting a break through at low tide allows stagnant water that has built up a "head" to carve a way through the sand bank... and also allows subsequent rainfall to keep it open to keep draining the rainfall thus preventing flooding...
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.
The tumbnail looks like a giant crocodile
how long antill the water level is at a relative wquilibrium ?
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.
Why you so much energy using an excavator instead of just digging a small narrow canal and let nature take care of the rest
Have to protect the idiots who build there homes near the rising water, let it be let nature take its course
Stupid man allways thinks he knows than nature
Your continent is damn crazy!
What is the purpose/reasoning for this? Benefits, impacts, etc? Essentially, Why? Is it necessary for what reason? Thank you.
Flooding! Won’t be long and it will always be clear and always flooded though.
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.
Придурки! Вы это будете делать каждый год?!
One work - 100 looking
Must be a union job.
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.
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.
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.
I found this video ruclips.net/video/NQ9Y_Ncld58/видео.htmlsi=EBlIPGxN448rHyOm that explains
Digging at an angle protects the channel from wave action that is dumping sand back into the channel and trying to block it up. As the channel deepens through scouring action that overwhelms the wave action.......
@@JohnSmith-pl2bk In theory. But in practicality, the dug channel would very easily out pace any deposition, as is shown by the video from the next day. The outflow is more powerful than the deposition. Now that changes as soon as a storm comes in and starts depositing new sand.
Was that a fresh water lake being opened to the sea?
the inlet is estuarine, so salt water
@@finnvogler5346: how did it come to be at a higher than tide level? I mean if it was connected to the sea it would be the same level as the sea.
@@AngloSaxon-yx8tk it has two rivers that feed into it, I suspect that causes the inlet to rise
@@finnvogler5346: Well in order for the inlet to rise, because of two rivers feeding it, the estuary must be blocked off causing it to rise and it's probably because the wave action from the sea causes sand build up where they open it with the diggers. Surely that must be the reason.
Thanks for nothing. Video is labelled maintenance but the video is just another climate change nonsense video.
Will this still be open January 2024?
EC NO WAY
Loud and . . .
Remember lithium batteries had nothing to do with the 20 million fire at Luton air port !
Remember that there are about 200,000 ICE vehicle fire every year. 60 to 1 over EVs 130 to 1 over Hybrids. Huff a few more fumes.
This is quite the propaganda for EV's.
Okay Nancy
I love these. I wonder what effect releasing all that tannin from the " tea " water does to coastal sea life.
Within a couple of hours the chlorine in the sea bleaches all the tannins out.....
Absolutely nothing as there are no industries along the inlet.
The drone footage was amazing! *I have the deepest respect for the power of water.* Thank you for the video.
Brilliant!
The modelling industry is a giant scam. Projecting climate is like believing in a psychosis. None are confirmed. And zero prophetics has been fullfilled last 50years. It is like total madness is ruling the whole western world. While the billionaires are big time smiling. And der Fuhrer Klaus Schwab is exstatic.
