It is important for people to be present during the flood event to maintain seepage and keep the protected area dewatered.

Seepage in the protected area is inevitable, thus sump pumps should be used.

Hoses have been run outside of the protected area to discharge any seepage accumulation.

AquaDams have never been officially tested for wave action, but they have experienced waves in the past without compromising the integrity of the AquaDam flood barrier system.

Sump pumps should be placed at lower elevation areas within the protected area to manage seepage.

Sometimes pits must be dug to create lower elevation points for sump pumps to channel and manage seepage.
