Coastal communities brace for shifting tides and unpredictable river flows in Pearl River delta.
The study looked at how water flows and tides behave in the Pearl River delta. They found that water levels are higher in certain parts of the river, and flood currents change with the amount of water flowing in. The ratio of water flow at different points stays pretty consistent, and tidal energy is stronger in some areas during flood seasons. The force of gravity is more important than inertia in shaping how water moves in the river network.
