    Kinda cool to watch how the velocity and profile change with time. Erosion is stronger the faster the water is moving so it starts at the end and eats backward as the velocity keeps increasing. Wish the video was longer and/or timelapse to see how it continued to progress.

We were around as 7/8 year olds when the lagoon at Kelso broke through and may or may not have aided the process with a couple of plastic spades. The idea was to create a little trickle to fill our engineering works on the beach below. The torrent which soon followed was a real eye opener and fortunately obliterated the evidence!

It's no where near as big, but it's very cool when it goes. Only been there once when it let go and that was after heavy rain and it was known to go.

    This is fascinating to watch. Think about it in terms of when the Zanclean Flood happened. That (according to the theory) is when the straight of Gibraltar was breached and filled the basin that is now the mediterranean sea. The inflow of fresh-water from rivers does not offset the evaporation of the sea, so it eventually dried up (more or less). Then about 5.33M years ago, the Atlantic Ocean started to fill it up again. It probably started as a trickle like this and then eroded a path and got bigger and bigger as more water flowed in.

      Hamzah Mohammed you can say that because you live in UK, you have experienced winters like every years. I don't know South Africa average temperature is, but for us that live in Equator, the lowest temperature we've experienced every years is around 23°c. So we will say 11°c or 12°c is absolutely freezing. If you go to tropical countries where the normal temperature here is around 32°c to 40°c, you may say it's too hot but it's actually nothing to us. We all have adapted to our surrounding temperature.

    Thanks for the upload! It reminded me when I was a kid and tied to dig a channel between a lagoon and the sea in Durban. We never really succeeded because the sand kept on collapsing and blocking the little channel we dug by hand. The next day we wanted to continue and just found the lagoon completely empty and a huge 3m deep trench with ripping water where we dug the previous day. Parents were not impressed.

  • @WaaDoku

    I saw a similar video like this about a river breach in Hawaii, I think on Oahu. But the way the tides work is that as soon as the accumulated water masses flowed off into the sea, the waves create new sand banks that block the now empty river basin from constantly flowing into the ocean. That way the basin fills up again naturally until another breach occurs. It's a natural process and the people that created the breach on Oahu did so with legal clearance from the local authorities. Not sure why everyone says that the guy in this video also created the breach himself but even if he did, the tides would create a new barrier between the river and the ocean anyways so calm down everyone. It's an impressive natural spectacle and to witness this is just incredible!
    Edit: Found the video I was mentioning: th-cam.com/video/KFzqike1Z0A/w-d-xo.html
    Read the description because many also hated on these people but it was all within laws of men and nature.

    “Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow, it can creep, it can drip or it can CRASH! Be water, my friend.” -- Bruce Lee
