In the video, a man is seen kneeling in the water while holding a shovel. He is wearing a black jacket and is surrounded by a pile of sandbags. The man is using the shovel to push the sandbags into the water, presumably to prevent the water from flowing further. The water appears to be brown and murky, and there are trees visible in the background. The man's actions are deliberate and focused as he works to secure the area.
