New York Testing Promising AquaDam™ Technology for Shoreline Protection
http://coastalnewstoday.com/new-york-new-york-is-testing-the-most-promising-technology-for-shoreline-protection/

AQUA DAM™ is a patented product that combines three tubes; two inner waterproof polyethylene tubes and a strong woven geotextile outer tube; and any available water.
The friction between the two inner tubes and the outer tube anchors the dam in place to form a non-rolling ‘wall’ of contained water.
