Living along California’s coast, I’m very much aware of methods used in the past to control flooding and erosion. One of these contraptions I’ve seen used is what’s called geosynthetic tubes filled with slurry. When stacked around low lying areas, we’ve called them “circumferential dike” as opposed to regular sand bags. I’ve also seem them used alongside hills to help prevent erosion. Could this be what Mr. Velasco is talking about?
