That would require dredging all the way with falls to the sea, and then into the sea......oh dear that wouldn't work either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually perhaps it is more complex than I thought. Your analogy isn't great but let's persevere. Most baths have a plug on the bottom. If they only emptied from the overflow, being deeper would not help other than hold some water for a short time. Rivers have their outlets at the end, not the bottom, and being deeper does not help flow. The temporary volume from dredging is a tiny proportion. The earth goes where? Oops you are winding me up aren't you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
