Slogan Water Against Water is associated with a unique system of flood defenses Tiger Dam produced by a Canadian company International Flood Control. The qualities of this system which is based on the fifteen-metre plastic cylinders filled with water linked together were presented on Tuesday to several dozens of politicians, members of municipal councils and also to rescuers by JOHNNY SERVIS representatives. This company is the exclusive distributor of these defenses in Central Europe.
"We bought the first barrier about 15 years ago, we tried to fill them with water and left them outside the whole winter. They are fully functional even today, „says Matthew Duras, JOHNNY SERVIS CEO and thus emphasizes one of the strengths of flood plastic cylinders. Other valued features of Tiger Dam, at least in comparison with sand bags, which is still the most common protection against high water, are their flexibility, reliability, resistance to dynamic water effects, environmental friendliness and thanks to their ability to be reused also lower price. Also Jan Papež, president of the Czech Flood Association, describes Tiger Dam in his reference sheet similarly.
