i estimated the berm height around 0.9m - 1.0m in height between the river water level and the top of the berm.

Someone might pick up on it as well but obviously the water has gotten deeper but the height i measured the at is shallower than it was last time (2.65m). i'm not sure what happened there and if something is now in the water in the location i was sampling or if perhaps I've moved slightly and there was a depression in the location i was originally at. AHD height has increased from the last time (May 28th - 1.76m AHD) though to 1.86m today
