A view from "upstream". 

The laborer standing on the AquaDam® must gauge when it is full enough to unroll further.
The pumps were situated on a convenient concrete slab meant to prevent erosion from an outfall pipe.

When the AquaDam® was approximately halfway across the slough, a Gradall was positioned in such a way that it could support the AquaDam® as it unrolled. We used a piece of the wrap that the AquaDam® came rolled in is to cover the Gradall's bucket to prevent damage.

Fill and unroll, fill and unroll, fill and unroll...
