As we get into late spring, we see the effect of frequent and heavy rains on the land.  This is especially noticeable along the banks of creeks and rivers.  Flooding and riverbank erosion can be dangerous to nearby homes and other buildings that are not protected.  Some engineers specialize in an area called flood mitigation, and these engineers work to design and construct methods for limiting the negative effects of flooding.  This can include city layouts, avoiding development in low areas, and building barriers along rivers to keep flood waters from breaking their banks.  In this JAM, you will design and construct your own barrier using a variety of provided materials (including moss) and test it out in our water table.
