Sandbags are a simple and effective way to prevent or reduce the damage caused by flooding. When filled and placed properly sandbags can act as a barrier to divert the flow of water around, instead of through, a building.
As one would imagine, sandbag construction does not guarantee a water-tight seal, however, it is satisfactory for most applications. It is especially effective when combined with a pump to extract the water that does leak through.
Sandbags are also commonly used to prevent the overtopping of streams with levees, and for diverting current flows to a specific location.
