i love doing things like that.  it will be interesting to see how long it lasts.


don't know if you'll find this interesting but here's a dam that i built across the run-off channel from one of the dune lakes on the gulf of mexico.

(when they get full of rainwater they breach the dunes and reconnect with the gulf)

while the normal water flow is only a few inches...this created a pool that was as deep as a few feet behind it that extended up the tributary.

it lasted for about 10 to fifteen minutes.



You have a job calling in New Orleans... :D

The best man made islands are in Dubai...

Enhanced photos, but you can see them on Google Earth in 'real' context I believe...

I think they also have some in Florida...
