Summary
| Description |
English: A schematic showing how a river can be redirected so that the water may be used for drinking water, irrigation, ... The schematic was made based on a plan to divert the murray river inland and break the connection with the sea. It was reported that besides giving a supply of already fairly pure freshwater, other benefits exist too such as the halting of the salination of rivers. In addition, it might allow to control pollution of the river (as it becomes a greater asset to villagers) and also implement additional pollution control regarding pollution from ships. Note: a second seawater buffer box should have actually been placed after the lock aswell, but this was not done in order to increase clarity of the system |

When a rediversion of a river such as described here is done, it may also be useful to change the marking buoy system. At present the IALA-A system for example adheres to a different color pattern than what is usual (red for left side, green for right) when facing the river mouth. It may be advisable to change navigation lights and markings to red for right, green for left and extent this troughout the entire system, and make sure the red buoys are placed on the right side, and the green buoys are placed on the left side (when facing the river coming from the sea).
