Flooding can significantly damage property and endanger humans, vegetation, and animals alike. However, the impact flooding has on our lives and the environment can be minimized or even prevented. This is where <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">temporary water diversion <a href=\"https:\/\/www.staging.iwtcargoguard.com\/staging\/products\/dewater-bags-water-diversion-products\/\">products<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> come into play.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Are Temporary Water Diversion Products?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When dealing with strong surges of water runoff, temporary water diversion products can save the day. These man-made structures and tools can effectively modify the natural flow of a waterway.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, unlike permanent products such as dams, levees, and irrigation canals, temporary water diversion products are simply that: temporary. This means that when confronted with potential flooding, these products can be quickly put into use until they are no longer needed. You\u2019ll be able to cost-effectively prevent soil erosion and the destruction of wildlife habitats, saving money that would otherwise be spent on constructing and maintaining large, immobile structures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Putting these products to use will also save you from the financial impact flooding can cause. Damaged bridges, sewer lines, and other related structures and systems can lead to large repair costs. Wouldn\u2019t you like to prevent this damage from happening? Clearly, temporary water diversion products can save the environment while saving you money.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-6872 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.staging.iwtcargoguard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/floodmw.bmp\" alt=\"water diversion barriers\" width=\"551\" height=\"413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.staging.iwtcargoguard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/floodmw.bmp 1024w, https:\/\/www.staging.iwtcargoguard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/floodmw-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.staging.iwtcargoguard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/floodmw-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.staging.iwtcargoguard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/floodmw-610x458.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 551px) 100vw, 551px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Comparing Bulk Bag Dams and Muscle Walls<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While there are countless products to choose from depending on your flood prevention projects, two major solutions include bulk bag dams and muscle walls. Let\u2019s explore how each product can help with your next project.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bulk Bag Dams<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bulk bag dams are temporary dams that are used for stream diversion or onside exclusion zones.\u00a0 By stacking them in conjunction with an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.staging.iwtcargoguard.com\/staging\/products\/geomembrane-liners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">impermeable liner<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, bulk bag dams can be filled to act as a barrier at a moment\u2019s notice. You can even adjust the height to best suit your specific situation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bulk bag dams are not only used in the face of flooding but can also be used efficiently during construction projects. If you\u2019re trying to repair a bridge or build support columns, creating a temporary dam with these bags can hold back water and aquatic life so that you can get the job done without damaging the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Muscle Walls<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, muscle walls are temporary water diversion products that can be rapidly deployed to effectively contain oil and gas, manage stormwater, and control erosion as a result of flooding. Plastic is molded into high barricades that easily slot together. These barricades form a sustainable barrier that will keep water out when you\u2019re trying to get work done and prevent run-off and contaminants from polluting the environment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Muscle walls are especially cost-effective and easy to set up and take down. Additionally, they are reusable. This means you won\u2019t have to worry about investing in more temporary water diversion products after using them. These products definitely pack some muscle when faced with potential flooding.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dewatering and Sediment Filter Bags<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When trying to divert runoff, you may want to filter it too, right? Although this is not always the case, temporary water diversion products work hand in hand with dewatering bags. These high-strength bags are used to reduce any grains, sludge, soil, and waste from the water.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sediment filter bags work similarly, rapidly dewatering sediments thanks to their filter-friendly fabric. With that in mind, consider using dewatering or sediment filter bags in tandem with muscle walls and bulk bag dams in order to divert water then filter\/drain it afterward with a pump.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-6871 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.staging.iwtcargoguard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/pump_water-filter_bag1_-e1632755677822.jpg\" alt=\"temporary dam wall\" width=\"550\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.staging.iwtcargoguard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/pump_water-filter_bag1_-e1632755677822.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.staging.iwtcargoguard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/pump_water-filter_bag1_-e1632755677822-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.staging.iwtcargoguard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/pump_water-filter_bag1_-e1632755677822-768x470.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.staging.iwtcargoguard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/pump_water-filter_bag1_-e1632755677822-610x374.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.staging.iwtcargoguard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/pump_water-filter_bag1_-e1632755677822-330x202.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.staging.iwtcargoguard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/pump_water-filter_bag1_-e1632755677822-676x414.jpg 676w, https:\/\/www.staging.iwtcargoguard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/pump_water-filter_bag1_-e1632755677822-414x254.jpg 414w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where Can You Find Temporary Water Diversion Products?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need bulk bag dams, muscle walls, or any other environment-friendly product, look no further than IWT Cargo-Guard.
