- Summary
- The history of developmental works around a New Zealand river Wanganui mouth port as well as an outline of the changes in bar depths prior to, during and following the period of construction is discussed. The entrance is now approaching an equilibrium condition and bar depths have become stabilized at a level roughly similar to those encountered nearly a 100 years ago.
