Abstract:
A method for segregating a body of water into two distinct parts comprising the steps of:(a) forming a plurality of floatable modules by a method comprising the following steps: (i) forming a U-shaped combination comprising a generally horizontal base wall and a pair of opposed generally vertical side walls; and (ii) assembling the generally vertical walls to the base wall in such a manner so as to form a floatable module; (b) floating each of the plurality of modules onto the body of water; and (c) sinking each of the plurality of modules at individual predetermined locations in the body of water, the generally vertical walls of each module having been chosen so as to have sufficient height to protrude above the water level of the body of water after the module is sunk at its predetermined location, each of the plurality of modules being sunk within the body of water such that each module is in close proximation to at least one adjoining module and such that the plurality of modules are aligned in a row which segregates the body of water into a first portion and a second portion.
