looking at the picture he could have made a smaller channel moving the legal limit letting the water enlarge it over time.
- themadturk 3y agoYes, but was the fellow considered a harbor maintainer? I don't know what this constitutes, but there's nothing in the story to indicate he had any such designation.

- lazide 3y agoA cubic yard is 7-8 small wheelbarrows worth of material. It’s nearly impossible to accomplish anything significant by moving a cubic yard of anything. Except gold bullion or Plutonium. Even diverting a small stream for awhile would require very thoughtful application of something pretty durable (concrete?). Not impossible, but very improbable. Which is probably why they set such a small limit. That’s literally ‘dude with a shovel and an hour’ territory.
