That river was completely dredged about 10 years ago, and they have gone back and done additional dreging in trouble spots since then. There was a pretty big dredging there of the entrance channel in 2008. It's not like so many other harbors that haven't been dredged at all since the 1960's. Your point is the river requires frequent dredging? |

Your point is the river requires frequent dredging? That depends on the number of old cars and bicycles at the bottom. It maybe also depends on the amount of other sediments carried downstream. In my country the first reasons are the most important in urban areas, boatloads of bicycles around Amsterdam. |

Perhaps the corps of engineers could have spent a little of that money figuring out how to fix the underlying problem, rather than endlessly ****ing it away. If you ever visit that place, you should be able to figure it out very quickly without spending millions of dollars on a study. |

The newsclip did mention private citizens taking the matter into their own hands. This is all very newsworthy, your insights and experiences could be valuable to others if you are willing to share it. What is the actual cause of the problem as you see it? |
