WATER EMERGENCY

        Save Money, Time and Labor in the war against flooding with reusable bags filled with a safe biodegradable polymer and water

·         Build dikes in half the time with fewer people

·         Deploys quickly and easily.

·         Easy to use.  Automatically inflates in only 3~5 minutes

·         Expands from 1.1 lbs. to 38 lbs. before your eyes.

·         Requires NO LABOR to prepare or use.

·         Can be ‘inflated’ at point of use, no need for heavy infrastructure preparation (i.e. Remote filling with sand, transportation to site etc.).

·         Very efficient. Requires no more storage space than a normal, empty sand bag!

·         Easy to ship or move.

·         Reusable!

·         Environmentally Friendly!

·         Uses natural jute bag or polypropylene plastic bag and water absorbing resin (PRTR Approved, the same as babies’ diaper).

The “Aqua Control  System”

Aqua Control Systems, Inc. announces a replacement for the age-old sandbag in the control of floodwater. The WaterBag offers a new solution using recyclable type bags filled with a polyacrylate polymer and water that can easily be found and used at the site.

Bags are easy to Use

The WaterBags are constructed of strong, porous polypropylene plastic or burlap and, when filled, withstand the forces of floodwaters. A small amount of polymer is added to the bag. When the bag is filled with water, the polymer is activated into a heavy gel. This gel stabilizes the water inside the WaterBag and gives it strength to form a barrier as the bags are stacked at the dike site.

Bags are Reusable:

WaterBags could be reusable and is environmentally safe. Natural drying of the WaterBag.  Bag will shrink about 30-50% of its fully expanded size, and can be USED AGAIN.

Or Maybe shredded and then the ingredients distributed:

When floodwaters recede, the gel is removed. This output can be dumped directly back into the river where it has no effect on aquatic life; or it can be disposed of at local landfills or agricultural fields. The gel is biodegradable in a matter of days. When dispersed in agricultural fields, it can be tilled into the ground where it retains moisture and enhances crop growth.

 
WaterBags are equivalent to sandbags in volume and weight and can be used to build dikes more effectively than sandbags. Tests show that fewer people can build better dikes in a fraction of the time compared to traditional sandbagging techniques and for considerably less total cost.

 You don't have to live near water to become a flood victim. In fact, everyone lives in a flood zone. It's just a matter of how likely it is that a flood will hit your home. And unfortunately, floods are the most common natural disaster.

 Flood zones are rated based on the "100-year flood" or the "500-year flood." This is the standard used by most federal and state agencies, is used by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) as the standard for floodplain management, and is used to determine the need for flood insurance.

 The "100-year flood" zone means that the area's elevation has a 1% chance of being equaled or exceeded by flooding each year, or a 26% chance of suffering flood damage during the term of a 30-year mortgage.

 The "500-year flood" zone means that the area has a lower risk of flooding. However, 25% of all flood insurance claims are from these areas.
