Abstract: Rubber dam is inflated by filling water or air and used for multi-purpose utilization such as flood control, irrigation and groundwater recharging. It also can be auto-deflated lying flat in the river before the flood-water arrive. Then flood can pass through smoothly in order to avoid upstream flooding. This paper introduces rubber dam technology development in China, interprets several typical rubber dams used for flood control and temporary bulkhead, discusses a removable rubber dam expectation as an effective means preventing from flood.
