Maneuverable dam

摘要

A dam for a waterway comprises a plurality of panels of flexible and inextensible sheet material such as rubberized fabric extending vertically from the bottom to adjacent the surface of a waterway. The edges of the panels overlap and are removably fastened together to provide a series of attached panels which extends across the waterway. Each sheet is attached to a separate concrete base on the bottom of the waterway and to a separate floating cylindrical member ajdacent the surface of the water. Each panel can be repaired or replaced independently of the other panels.
