Flood Fighting Products Research Facility
Vicksburg, MS
A wave research basin at the ERDC Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory has been modified specifically for testing of temporary, barrier-type, flood fighting products. Modifications to the wave basin were sponsored by GI R&D; through the Technologies and Operational Innovations for Urban Watershed Networks (TOWNS) Program. Modifications include construction of wing walls to which the flood fighting structures will be attached, installation of an 8-ft diameter sump with pumps and flow meters for measuring seepage rates and recirculating water during overtopping tests, and development of a cable towing system for debris impact studies.
