The contractor needed this much room for his construction activities. The AquaDam® is still inflating

This is the end of the AquaDam®. You can see how it was tied into the bank. Internal water pressure held the AquaDam® to the bank. Filling ropes were used to secure the AquaDam® to the bank, preventing the loss of internal water.

The main 8' high AquaDam® was completely full, backed up by a 4' high AquaDam®, also completely full. In the lower part of this picture you can see the significant drop of water in the work area.
