    I saw a similar video like this about a river breach in Hawaii, I think on Oahu. But the way the tides work is that as soon as the accumulated water masses flowed off into the sea, the waves create new sand banks that block the now empty river basin from constantly flowing into the ocean. That way the basin fills up again naturally until another breach occurs. It's a natural process and the people that created the breach on Oahu did so with legal clearance from the local authorities. Not sure why everyone says that the guy in this video also created the breach himself but even if he did, the tides would create a new barrier between the river and the ocean anyways so calm down everyone. It's an impressive natural spectacle and to witness this is just incredible!
    Edit: Found the video I was mentioning: czcams.com/video/KFzqike1Z0A/video.html

    This is fascinating to watch. Think about it in terms of when the Zanclean Flood happened. That (according to the theory) is when the straight of Gibraltar was breached and filled the basin that is now the mediterranean sea. The inflow of fresh-water from rivers does not offset the evaporation of the sea, so it eventually dried up (more or less). Then about 5.33M years ago, the Atlantic Ocean started to fill it up again. It probably started as a trickle like this and then eroded a path and got bigger and bigger as more water flowed in.

    “Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow, it can creep, it can drip or it can CRASH! Be water, my friend.” -- Bruce Lee

    Watching this video teaches you how frighteningly quickly a river can cut itself a new channel. Away from things like waterfalls, we tend to think of rivers as quiet, slow moving, peaceful places. This shows us they are anything and everything but that!

    Very satisfying! reminds me of my favourite beach occupation - building dams in streams and then watching them fail. Also, it's like geology speeded up; the first meander starts forming at about 2:40 then a waterfall forms, which erodes upstream.....

    There's a vid that some surfer dudes made on YT (that you've probably seen) where they dug a ditch to do the same thing and created some cool waves. So many comments complaining how they ruined the ecosystem when there's no doubt it would've happened just like this anyway. Very cool that you caught it happening naturally and you weren't tempted to help it along!

      Snake River Canyon in Idaho I believe was created when the the melted waters behind a glacier broke through and dug the canyon in a single event.

      +Wailwulf The Grand Canyon was actually made in a single weekend by the McElvey Brothers in 1987. It is still not understood why these four brothers decided to dig out such a great amount of the earth, but afterwards the eldest, John McElvey stated "If you build it they will come".
