No, it doesn't. The sand gets washed back in and blocks the river then the locals unclog it and do it again. Give your fake Internet points back, you didn't deserve them.
This is a naturally occurring sand dam at Aliso Beach / Aliso Creek in Laguna Beach, California. It happens with the tides after the river lowers. People need to stop commenting like they are environmental experts. Check out videos by Ben Conklin on TikTok and Facebook to see more videos just like this one.
It depends on where you are and local laws regarding waterways. In some places humans purposefully redirecting water flow without planning permission is something that can get charges.
I'm speaking SPECIFICALLY of the beach in the image (Aliso Beach / Aliso Creek in Laguna Beach, California) since that's what the original comment poster made an uneducated guess about. It's a sand dam. It happens with the tides. People need to stop commenting like they are environmental experts.
You are an idiot. I WAS SPECIFICALLY SPEAKING, (does that help you?) about how different areas have different laws. Now you brought up that this is in California, where the water laws make this illegal. Redirecting waterways beyond natural boundaries for personal reasons is illegal. Now, since you’re a lawyer, argue why you are right. Because, as I said in my first message, it depends where you are.
You, go to school, trust people smarter than you. Don’t vote Republican.
It's not being redirected; the river flows into the sea. This is an arm of the sea, and it flows into it twice a day. A present you an ebb tide: https://youtu.be/_zGwwLQNkgM?si=J8bq1RUHVPjNUMfp

This reminds me of the treated sewage outlet just outside Prat/Barcelona.

This is like an annual event at Waimea on Oahu. I missed it every year when I was there, sadly.

Good way to get swept out into a rip current.

No 😄😄

Didn't the cops show up and shut this down because of environmental reasons? Or was that a different video...

They usually do. This is very damaging.
OMGamIImguringCorrectly
That's not common. Either the river overflows the beach and does it on its own, or the locals do it and have fun.

It's a natural process, it happens twice a day.
layinginbedfeelinglikeaquesarito
Wow, you are an idiot. Judgment of redirecting water aside, this is not the tide.
Fulustreka
Yes, it is, it's called ebb tide.
layinginbedfeelinglikeaquesarito
Just stop being an idiot. I’m sure it gets the girls in bed. Just stop. This is a redirected riparian way
