Big Bags USA at the Iowa Water Conference!



March 3-4, 2014 - Iowa State Center | Ames, Iowa


The Big Bags USA team will be attending this important event to showcase our temporary flood barrier system.  The Iowa Water Conference is an annual gathering of water professionals, researchers, educators and students from across Iowa and surrounding states. The current conference structure was created to bring together the various professional conferences that were already occurring independently of each other. By bringing all of these conferences under one roof, we can encourage collaboration between disciplines, share resources and costs, and unite our efforts for clean, abundant Iowa water.  The theme of this conference is "Making Connections - Solving Problems"

Come see our Big Bags USA systems

We are what people choose when they need simple, easily deploy-able flood protection.

6mm thick polypropylene, made with the highest UV resistant polymers available to increase longevity in sunlight.

Used almost anywhere, the flexible design of no rigid bottom structure allows the bag to conform to any sub-surface, making a water-tight seal.

200 times faster to deploy than sandbags. In less than 10 minutes two men can construct a wall 15’ wide by 3’ high from a single system. One system is the equivalent of over 750 regular sandbags.

Re-usable, taking minimal storage space and having a 25-year life span when stored inside.

We have been used for:
  1. Flood Control
  2. Levee Heightening          
  3. Coffer Dams     
  4. Traffic Safety           
  5. Coastal Erosion                              
  6. Stream Diversion             
  7. Erosion Control                 
  8. Blast Barriers(for military use)    
  9. Mudslide Barriers     
  10. Railroad Erosion                
  11. Above-Ground Water Containment       
  12. Secondary Containment Barrier for Hazardous Spills       

No other flood prevention or water diversion system comes close to this low-cost and high-volume solution.

Be Safe, Be prepared

Preparing for the next flood is so much more affordable than cleaning up after the flood water hits.  Have checklists/plans in place and consider having on hand enough Big Bags USA systems to allow you to quickly setup a flood barrier defense.  If you know anyone living in a flood prone area, make sure you tell them about www.bigbagsusa.com!

Understanding Hydrophobic Soils

Last year, California saw what has been considered the worst wildfire season on record! Unfortunately, those wildfires aren't the only thing people in those areas of California need to be concerned with. Those wildfires lead to what is known as "hydrophobic soils," which can lead to flooding and mud flows. Keep reading to learn more about hyrophobic soils and why people in California and other wildfire prone areas need to be prepared and have flood protection on hand. Hydrophobic Soils  Hydrophoic soils are just what they sound like, soils that "fear" water. This condition causes water to collect on the surface rather than infiltrate into the ground. The main cause of hydrophobic soils is wildfires. These soils are created when hydrocarbon residue is created after organic material is burnt. That then soaks into empty pore spaces in the soils, making it impervious to water. While this condition is temporary, it can increase water repellency, surface runof...
