[edit] Erosion rate
The article states the delta is eroding at 50km per year -- this can't be correct as it is only around 150km long so would be gone in three years. Presumably it is eroding at 50 km^2 per year, however there is no citation so I can't check this. If anyone knows a source for the erosion rate, can they correct this. I'm going to change it to square so it at least makes some sense. QU4N71FY (talk) 09:28, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
