Since all of the lake's shores are convoluted, the AquaDam® could not be started in a straight line along the path of the guide string. A rope was fastened to one of the tie straps on the top of the AquaDam®, and then secured to the bank in such a manner that the first 25' was held securely in place.
Once the AquaDam® had unrolled the proper distance away from the bank, it was turned by pulling on a rope tied to the wooden core until it was at the correct angle to intersect with the far shore.
Since there is no water flow of any kind in the lake, no ropes are needed to maintain head pressure inside the AquaDam®. It is simply allowed to unroll of its own accord as it fills.
A second AquaDam® is dropped into the water so that it can easily be floated to the end of the installed AquaDam® once filling is complete.
The first AquaDam® continues to fill.
