<p>A water containment structure comprises a plurality of spaced upright support members 1 secured at their bases and each capable of receiving a plurality of containers 2 stacked successively along its length. The spacing of the uprights and the dimensions of the containers is such that corresponding containers on adjacent poles are in touching contact, with any spaces between said containers being filled with particulate solid material. The containers may be scrap vehicle tyres with at least some of the adjacent tyres being secured to each other with rivets 3. The structure may be used to prevent river bank erosion, to control tidal flow on the coastline or in flood prevention schemes.</p> |
