Maybe it’s time to seriously consider reclassification as an icoll. And modify with permanent opening and proper and regular dredging. An option of keeping high water levels could result in 1. Blue green algae pollution and 2 flooding of infrastructure. As the berm is not concrete. It’s sand. And wet sand when a “ scrape “ is done to allow excess water out …. Will bust open in another breach event.
I must also comment in regards to council. And I know this video is purely scientific not political, however it’s a very important note to table. The extremely low lake levels preceding the iron flok event happened in the drought. However, council ignored the opening strategy of opening at low water level of .02 for like 12 months!!!!! They had a very large role in being responsible for this ecological disaster
@@sprintershepherd4359 hi. It’s not an easy answer. Very complex set of circumstances. Honestly I think the video itself is quite self evident. Today after good rain and very clear water finally pushing in from ocean. The lake on high tide is wonderful. The massive problem mentioned in video occurs when extremely low water events allow acid sulphate to rule. Whilst open and big tides with clean clean water are about it’s magnificent. Get out there. Check tides before going. Put yak in on half tide rising and let the current take you up the lake.
@@mickknowles4096 yep i looked up some stuff about it . Lake innes was the largest freshwater lake in the east coast apparently . they tried to drain the lake for some reason and salt water got in . I dont know when that was . , but yes ofc it caused an ecological disaster letting salt water in . a bloody shame . I also read some people are propose to stop the salt getting in and returning it to fresh water again .. here is a vid from ten years ago . it looks much healthier then ua-cam.com/video/m2vLIaUSQnU/v-deo.html&ab_channel=BonnyHillsBeachHouse
@@sprintershepherd4359 1930 s it was “ drained “ a cut was made between Lake Cathie and innes lake. To create more sheep pastures…. It’s quicksand up there basically.
@@mickknowles4096 good ol pastoralist did it again hey .ffs sheep and cattle farmers have so much to answer for . their greed was boundless . between them the miners and loggers its a wonder we have any sustainable eco systems left in Australia . I guess 90 yrs after the addition of salt water new ecosystems have established themselves .
Great Video! - Lake Innes needs to be restored, its looking pretty sad too.
