The device (1)comprises a rectangular panel (2) of reinforced polypropylene fabric. All four side edges of the panel (2) include sleeves (3) with open corner ends (4) housing elongated polystyrene blocks (5). A further sleeve (11), spanning between opposing longitudinal edges of the panel (2), encloses an elongated block of polystyrene. Lateral (8) and longitudinal (9) steel rods are also housed in the respective sleeves (3) under the blocks (5). Connectors (7,10) enable the device to be connected to ground anchors (15) placed around the periphery of a dam (16) and/or enable adjacent devices (1) to be connected together to form one or more rafts (13). In use, the sleeves (3) fill with water and the rods (8,9) cause the lower surface of each sleeve (3) to deflect downwards providing ballast for the floating panel (2), increasing the resistance of the panel (2) to lifting by any wind blowing across the water surface. The trench of water bounded by the lower surfaces of the sleeves (3) provides further resistance to any device (1) movement through the water.
