Apartment for sale in Campal/Miramar area, Panaji, Goa. Spacious 3 bedroom flat (3BHK)available for sale in upscale area near Miramar beach Contact: goaengineer...@aol.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Joe, that is not erosion - rather, it is a build-up of sand on the beach, which has been blown inland by the strong monsoonal winds. I would say that the force of the river has dimnished on Panjim side, and probably the opposide side (Verem?) will suffer erosion. As the force of the river-flow has diminished due to building piers further upriver (Panjim jetty) or other causes, over the years the Mandovi river has deposited a lot of sand on Panjim side and the water flow seems to have moved more towards Betim. My father told me, when we used to walk alongside the pleasant avenue in Campal, that when he lived in Campal in the 1920s, the waves used to beat against the balustrade where the cannon/lighthouse were. Now, there has been a build-up of sand so much so that now there is a Childrens' Park and Kala Academy buildings, the Campal Ground etc where apparently the river once used to flow. ----- Original Message ---- From: JoeGoaUk <joego...@yahoo.co.uk> To: goa...@goanet.org Cc: gtedi...@gmail.com; New Herald Id <edi...@herald-goa.com> Sent: Tuesday, 18 August, 2009 9:39:25 PM Subject: [Goanet] Talking Photos: Vanishing footpath due to sand erosion? One could not walk into the Miramar beach without the use of the steps provided near Goa Tourism Compound wall and towards St. Anthony cross/shrine (unless you are good at high-jumping) But now, one can walk into the beach almost straight from your car or the road. The footpath is now almost leveled with the beach covering sand for up to 1 meter in height. Don’t know whatever happened to the CCP project initiated some two year ago by bamboo fencing the beach to arrest sand erosion etc. (see clip) Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com
