Not trivial when erosion makes huge changes in river beds. Please plot changes in the lower Mississippi River for the past 200 years. Note the, sometimes, seasonal changes. Note also, the regular changes in sand-bar locations along the entire length of same river. It is definitely a more chaotic environment than your average seashore.
