GUIDING A RIVER
GROYNE-BUILDING AT -. ;'y TAITA For some time the Hutt River has developed an eastern tendency in the Taita Gorge some distance below the foot-bridge, and to counteract this an attempt was niade to lead the river away 'iy cutting, a • channel. This has. done good service, but it has not been completely for although the bottom has been "blasted” on several occasions the “cut” has not been deepened as was expected. In order to force the main flow to the westward and through the “cut,” a done groyne is at present being built by the River Board staff. The groyne will contain 1600 cub.yds. of boulders.
