Abstract:
1. A barrier module adapted for use with other barrier modules and for use with filler material to form an interlocked water control system, comprising: two substantially vertical opposing end walls, each having a top edge, a bottom edge, and a centrally disposed end aperture, wherein the end aperture provides longitudinal filler material communication with the end aperture of an adjacent barrier module; two substantially vertical opposing side walls, each having a top edge and a bottom edge, wherein the two substantially vertical opposing side walls are connected to the two substantially vertical opposing end walls to form a top aperture in the plane of the top edges of the two substantially vertical opposing end walls and of the top edges of the two substantially vertical opposing side walls, and to form a bottom aperture in the plane of the bottom edges of the two substantially vertical opposing end walls and of the bottom edges of the two substantially vertical opposing side walls, and wherein the two substantially vertical opposing end walls and the two substantially vertical opposing side walls define an interior space adapted to receive filler material therein; and a module-to-module connection system whereby the barrier module is connected to an adjacent barrier module to form a part of an interlocked water control system.
