Description

100 ml rainfall event over night 22/23 March 2017.

River's normal course across the sand significantly redirected.

Substantial sand movement from beach to underneath bridge resulting in narrowing of river at that point.  Depth gauge now buried in sand.

One week later, 30 March, estuary river course returning to usual position, but sand under bridge still remains.

EstuaryWatch monitoring will take place Sunday 2 April.
