Featured product: Portable dams
------------------------------------------------------

Floodwaters can rise in severity with little warning, and it's not 
always possible to deploy sandbags or build earthen dams everywhere 
they're needed on short notice. Unfortunately, we're seeing a remarkable 
case of flooding right now, as Nashville, Tennessee, is treated to the 
same kind of flooding seen in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, just two years ago.

The Aqua Dam from Layfield can act as a portable dam for emergency use. 
It's quite literally a dam held up by the force of the water inside it, 
so it's fast and easy to deploy, requiring only a fraction of the 
manpower of a comparable sandbag-based levee.
