A study led by Wageningen University & Research shows that human interventions have significantly changed tides in river estuaries over the past centuries. In many regions around the world, the difference between high and low tide has increased, and the tidal wave is moving inland faster. These changes often appear to have a greater impact than the effects of sea-level rise.
