Lincoln Creek Water Diversion: |
| The first AquaDam® starts up the bank at a point at least 4' higher in elevation than the stream bed to be crossed. Insert discharge hoses into the fill tubes, making sure that they extend past the black master tube, which is the start of the actual AquaDam®. The clear fill tubes are for coupling this AquaDam® to the closed end of another. These fill tubes are provided on each closed-ended AquaDam®, and no fill ports are needed. An attachment collar is provided on the other end. |
|
| The AquaDam® is being held back to prevent it from unrolling prematurely. |
|
| Water has already started pooling up on the upstream side of the AquaDam®. A head of water inside the AquaDam® higher than that of the water pooling on the upstream side must be maintained or the water will force the AquaDam® downstream. The water on the downstream side is dropping, creating a water head differential from one side of the AquaDam® to the other. This water pressure difference must be overcome throughout the installation process. |
