Abstract:
A stand-atone flood barrier apparatus that bolts to the ground through anchor bolts that connects with other stand-alone flood barrier apparatus to make a circuit to protect a person's desired location they wish to protect against flood waters such as crop fields. The stand-alone zigzag sheeting then is protracted from the stand-alone base unit and opened out for the end of sheeting to then fix into the retractable/expandable floor grip which is to be fully extended from the main unit which the zigzag sheeting fixes into. The stand-alone apparatus & zigzag sheeting can be retracted back into the stand-alone main unit and locked for further use in the future. Also can be detached from the anchor bolts and stored or used elsewhere. Underneath the stand-alone main unit there is a spike running through the center to keep away surface water. There is also a soft large rubber strip along the full base of the stand-alone unit to tolerate any undulations in the earth beneath the stand-alone apparatus. The stand-alone can be reused until sufficient use makes it no longer capable of propelling water from the desired locations you wish to protect & recycled.
