I certainly agree with this long term, but in the short term flushing pollutants into the sea where they will become radically diluted may be a lesser evil than having it sat in concentrated stagnant pools upstream. Obviously the long term solution is to combine the flushing with improved regulation to limit the number of pollutants released into the river but I don't know whether this is actually the case here.
