Connecting River to Ocean! Is this Bad?

[@ASTC-Sinon]

This isn’t connecting a river to an ocean. I saw the original video and essentially when there’s heavy rains, the water floods in the dunes of the beach. Eventually, someone comes along and clears a little tunnel for the water and it all drains back into the ocean.

[@Sockyos]

Rain made this much water?!?!?!?

Ok so they have something similar at Camel Beach. I think what people need to understand that eventually this will happen on its own. I know it looks like they just made a crazy new river and drained an entire lake, but it will eventually stop when the river gets to a certain level and the sand will level its self out again. Its really not that much water in comparison to what is in the actual river. If its that close to the ocean its probably flooded upstream as well.
