How the water-gate flood protection works

I don't understand how this got Nixon in trouble.

Unfortunate name

I really hope there's a scandal with this company, just to mess with historians 1,000 years in the future.

Watergate…?

Watergate?

That’s wild. Could save lives.

So what happens when the water gets higher then this?

This naming though…

Multiple Flood Victim here - I have some doubts about this. I'm sure it works great for minor floods but when you have 10 ft of water outside, unless that barrier is 10 ft high, water is going to get in the house

Note: Water-gate flood protection uses flexible tubes filled with water to form temporary barriers. These barriers are quick to deploy and can be used to manage flood risks in urban or residential areas. The system is easy to set up; tubes are simply filled on-site with water from a hose or nearby source. Water-gate barriers are durable, reusable, and effective even in fast-moving water. They can be stacked to increase height and adapt to various flood levels. Their design allows for easy removal post-flood. Simply drain the water, clean, and store for future use. #FloodProtection #WaterGate | 🚧🌊
