This 2.5' high AquaDam® (or Dura-Dam in Africa) was used for water retention
in the Natal Province of South Africa. This dam was only a few years old, but already so much sediment had collected
behind it that the water was only inches deep for a distance of 12 miles. AquaDams® were used to increase the height
of the dam so that the broad sedimentary plain could be used to store water 18" deep. 18" of water spread over
12 miles is quite a bit of storage.

These 4' high x 250' long AquaDams® were used to store
the salt water from Shamu the killer whale's tank at Sea World, Ohio. The water was stored
here in the VIP parking lot during the retrofitting and painting of the tank, and was then
simply pumped back into the tank upon completion.

This 6' high x 250' long AquaDam®
was used to store potentially radioactive runoff water at the U.S.'s first
nuclear accident site. The water had to be contained for radiation testing
to see if it was acceptable to release it into the local watershed. Six
other AquaDams® of this size were used, each large enough to contain over
100,000 gallons of water.

This custom-made 2.5' high AquaDam® was used to convert this standard flatbed trailer into a water hauler. An AquaDam® can be fabricated to convert virtually any vehicle into an effective means of water transportation. |
