River Severn in the UK - during the "Severn Bore" a surge wave flows upstream.....
The river Severn is famous for being the longest River in Britain It also has a tidal bore, that rises suddenly as a wall of water, that races up river. Many people visit the Severn at the time of the tidal bore to race upstream for miles on surf boards. The Severn tidal bore is the second largest in the World, the largest being (I believe in Canada?)
Dan Severn goes by The Beast.
A bore occur where a river estuary is the right shape and the tidal conditions are such that the wave is able to form. The shape of the Severn estuary is such that the water is funnelled into an increasingly narrow channel as the tide rises, thus forming the large wave. As well as the width of the Severn decreasing rapidly, then so does the depth of the river also change rapidly forming a funnel shape. As the incoming tide travels up the estuary it's routed into an ever decreasing channel and the surge wave or bore is formed.
the largest one is in Spring and can be up to 2 metres high, but smaller ones can be seen throughout the year
The river Severn was used for growing crops.
