Big Guy Posted September 5, 2016 Report Posted September 5, 2016 (edited) Was just browsing the web and came upon Aqua Dams. I had no idea they existed but using water to control water makes sense: Aqua Dams Has anyone seen these in action? Some interesting applications: Applications Edited September 5, 2016 by Big Guy Quote Note - For those expecting a response from Big Guy: I generally do not read or respond to posts longer then 300 words nor to parsed comments.

Bryan Posted September 6, 2016 Report Posted September 6, 2016 We get flooding almost every year here. Some places use these aqua dams, but from what I've seen, they are not quite as effective on their own as the images posted will have you believe. Water still leaks under and around them. Where they seem to shine is when used as the base "filler" for a sandbag dike. The aqua dam can be filled quickly and with far less man power than an all sandbag dike, then you just stack a few rows of sandbags along the base and at the ends. Quote
