Just a suggestion ! Place a long pipe there with high flow to keep it draining and let the sea pile up stones as it wants Or do you get paid to clear it out each time it seal up ?
Agreed, they should install a drainage pipe, or a spill way with a gate if they don't want it to always drain out. Costly now, but less costly than renting that giant excavator several times a year indefinitely. With a gate set at the proper depth and distance into the sea, even if the sea piles up rocks infront of it, the pressure and water movement would clear that out upon opening.
Funny how the excavator was on the other side of the trough at the start of the video, then somewhere it gets moved to the left side. Of course, they don't show the move but you can see the tracks from where it crossed the flow. I would have had to laugh if they had to wait for the flow to stop if they had waited too long.
Nice flat land close to river lovely untill you stop and think about how that land was formed oops now you may like to rethink that riverside location.
Just commenting that in other videos where these sorts of coastal estuaries have been opened, the water rushing to the sea creates stationary waves that surfers love to ride.
No thought about work area isolation, turbidity containment? Where's the protective device to isolate earth fill discharges from the greater body of water?
Youre gonna pay a whole day on the equipment whether you get it done in 8 minutes or 8 hours. No point in renting 2 pieces of equipment for the day, just rent the one that can finish the job.
It would need to be a huge pipe to equal the normal flow of the open river mouth, and would eventually get silted up just as the river has been unless a shitload of money was spent to extend the outflow far out to sea.
The problem is sir man kind trying to play God, if you do that the saline content in the river will get far to high.Your best bet is to enforce some conservation measures.
If you open the river mouth to often manually you will start destroying your river. I thought New Zealanders would have known better. If left alone when the river does break through it will cut deep and there for clean the river out properly.
What you are doing by breaking open your rivers is slowly but surely going to be the death of the river itself. Let the breach occur naturally and your rivers will slowly start to improve.
What are you talking about? The death of the river itself? LOL, the river will be just fine, and it would breach naturally by itself eventually, just could cause flooding in the nearby houses, so they clear it so that doesn’t happen....”death of the river itself” can’t get over that
All I can say is hope high tide or swells dont come back up the river and leave yall with a stinky mess in the summer. And that my freinds is what appens when you think your smarter than mother nature. I could be wrong but lets wait and see what happens.
Less than 3 mins...now i see why my sister be complaining about her brother and she went bout a vibrater it's over before you get started good😂😂😂😂😂...now i see why see call him 7/11 because he be in & out quick like he was paying for gas...
You couldn’t have shown us the moment the water broke through? Damn, that’s always the best part...
Got to love nature.
Great video

Dloweification The river naturally breaches, it just takes longer no need for pipes or anything. They simply help it out
So where is this? Nude Zealand?
Great vid.
Krap music.
Could they have found a smaller bucket to use?
Ikannye banyak tuh.

Hey dude, I'm from kaikoura. And you can see my house at the start.
Why is this set to porn music ?
I like it. Not ideal for THIS video, but I like the music.
In that last shot, how did the excavator get to the other side of the break??
Yep ?? Probably across the water ?
probably drove
Helicopter picks it up and moves it
Teleportation
Need to install a culvert. If not, it will just silt back in.
No shit, they literally say that
Is this a new thing or did people willingly build where it floods all the time? ...
People have been building on flood plains the world over for hundreds of years
Nice flat land close to river lovely untill you stop and think about how that land was formed oops now you may like to rethink that riverside location.
I'm here just to read the experts comments on how to do it better.
Free free, from the river to the sea😂😂😂😂
I dont understand......what is the purpose of opening the river to the ocean?
Yes that is what i am thinking 🤗🤔
Drain it to stop it flooding again :)
What is the back ground music
The background music was created by the CIA to be used in their torture/interrogation facilities .
Love these videos
Where are all the surfers?
Bubba Warbucks in Mt maunganui .. down where this beach is. Is pretty much freezing water from antartica.
Just commenting that in other videos where these sorts of coastal estuaries have been opened, the water rushing to the sea creates stationary waves that surfers love to ride.
Every childs dream
so, why was construction allowed in the flood plain in the first place???//
These generally aren't constructed; they happen naturally
Because the land was more valuable than keeping the mouth open cost?
I for one would love to hear the arguments at the local town hall over who pays to keep the river mouth/open closed...

Good point

AquaDamInc fuck off.
I would of used a dozer with part of it
Ain't gotta be done in 12 seconds mate.

Porque eles tem que contratar uma escavadeira? Não bastava pagar uns caras com umas pás para fazer, ia ficar mais barato😁👍
А зачем он это сделал? / Why hi it do?
good job crane driver
Talk about flushing the crapper....
HA,HA,HA, static river, good joke :)
so.....your building material is right there....build a wave break in front of the creek mouth....should never close again....
au69miner
How would they do that?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
2:04 Как они экскаватор уберут?
Yea sounds messed up xd
Water quality issue sounds like more of a shitty people issue than a too much water issue...
I like the 60s porn music
I'm off to watch giant bull dozers
Why not just add a tunnel? that way, you never have to dig again
It'll take away their job i guess
Because that would destroy the whole lagoon ecosystem.
Because it will get blocked with shingle even faster than the open channel. First decent storm.
Breaking: the river was a paid actor.
Just put in a pipe to keep the flow, so much cheaper
It would need to be a huge pipe to equal the normal flow of the open river mouth, and would eventually get silted up just as the river has been unless a shitload of money was spent to extend the outflow far out to sea.
It would drain the creek

Fast forward the excavator next time please👍

You offer water porn, but don't show the money shot? You should be ashamed.
.
Lol

What's with the porn music? Distracting and obnoxious AF.
Kids in Africa could have eaten that excavator.
Too much of how to make it flow, and too little of the flow...
Once the river mouth is opened water pours into the ocean, fuksake ! Really !
Boring, and the filming made me dizzy.
Must be nice to have such a positive outlook on life ^^
