Rising seas

[Seastoke]

So we are based in Conwy , which has an estury where years ago i believe you could motor up the river to a pub and moor upnow they are struggling to maintain the number of moorings . When we visited Maldon in Essex thats even worse , so my question to the experts why dont they dredge so these places can take more water. i dont know iam from stoke

Who's going to pay for it?

 

[Portofino]

1-Who pays ?
2- Environmental issues ?Disturbing the base of the eco pyramid the small critters .

 

[peteK]

The building of the Conway tunnel caused a lot of the silting and even if it was dredged it would have to be done on a regular basis.

 

[Seastoke]

Well we are in a changing world can the mud be used in constrution

 

[Poignard]

Someone told me that dredging is permitted in Chichester Harbour but the spoil must only be moved about the harbour. It is not allowed to be taken out to sea or dumped ashore.

Is this true?

Mud huts for the future house who knew Wigan is leading the way

Porto where we are the muscle boats drag across the sea bed , so do trawlers.

So what ?
You are talking up the river from the bridge .
I used to jet ski up there .
MIL and wife family from that area Llandudno. Wasted plenty of time there .

So i was remembering when i visited Chester races , someone explained that the racecoarse was a port in Roman times , so the seas must have been higher in those days , Porto can you explain.

Tides .
Chopping trees down , deforestation = silt + mud washing down stream clogging up what where navigable rivers .

Nip up to Glasgow , Greta s there getting a round in . Chat environment.

They built a weir and it caused the river to back up and drop sediment

They build the hard after the bridge narrows which caused a back eddy and silting up

They cant dredge because it's a mussel farm, besides, they dont have the equipment

You can still get to where the pub was, you need to know where the river channel is and where the tidal flats are

No, see above. The tunnel is deep but it's shallow as it's the wides stretch

 

[MrB]

When we were part of the EU their rules said we couldn't dredge the rivers for some reason. Farmers have been screaming about it for years because of flooding. The environment agency are the ones that are liable for them and would have to be in their budget. I read about this some time ago so cannot back it up with links sorry.

The reduced access to upper parts of rivers and creeks is a complex issue, and sea level is only one factor.

Big contributors to this in the last century or two, I've read are -
(a) big changes in agricultural practice leading to greater loss of soil from the land into rivers - more area under cultivation, deeper ploughing etc. by machinery as against manual/horse drawn methods, ploughing up & downhill rather than across the slope;
(b) massive increase in water abstraction from the higher reaches of rivers, both for agriculture ('better' machinery, more intensive cultivation) and as a result of urbanisation (abstraction for water consumption).
