This picture was taken at the highest of high tides. At low tide the AquaDams® have no water next to them. This will be the highest tide during the length of the project, which is scheduled to last until July 4, 2004. The AquaDams® have been in place over two months.

The first sign of levee failure was on December 25, 2003. Water Structures started installation on the 26th of December and finished on January 3, 2004. The AquaDams® required only two days to install.  This picture was taken during an extemely high-tide on January 23, 2004.

At this point the pasturelands have been drained and the grass is growing again. By acting quickly the salt water was removed from the pasture lands before doing permanent damage. The dairyman's herds could then return to their fields.

This was taken two months after installation. The levee will have to be permanently fixed during the summer months, after the fields have dried out. The Aquadams® were a quick and temporary fix to the flooding caused by the breech in the levee.
