Humber River Flow

SEP 23, 2018 Traversals

Along the Humber river, you’ll find several dams. I suppose these serve to control the flow of the water. You’ll also see Salmon jumping at these locations at the right time of year. After the water crosses the dam, it flows faster in the centre, creating whirlpool-like effects around the edges. In this cross section, the whirlpool action isn’t immediately apparent, because from the point of view of a cross section, all moving water is moving water regardless of the direction. What is visible here, I think, is a sense of the variation in the strength of the current.
