Flood barrier and methods of making and deploying a flood barrier
Flood barrier 100 configured to soak up flood water. It comprises a body 110 which, in use, provides a barrier to a liquid. A peripheral layer 120 surrounds the body and is provided with holes 122 and handling sections 124, 126. The body is configured to take up liquid through the plurality of holes and is resiliently compressible so as to release the liquid when compacted. The body may be formed from a resiliently compressible material, which may be a synthetic sponge. This synthetic sponge may have the form of a rolled up sheet. The peripheral layer may be provided with a fastening part. Methods for making and deploying the flood barrier are also disclosed.
