How do you stop a weeping dam or turkeys nest? Would ash thrown into the water do the job?

Bentonite in civil engineering applications is used traditionally as a thixotropic, support and lubricant agent in diaphragm walls and foundations, in tunnelling, in horizontal directional drilling and pipe jacking. Bentonite, due to its viscosity and plasticity, also is used in Portland cement and mortars.

Answer 2

I am so glad to read the truth written for all to see. It's nothing but propaganda. President Bush threw that phrase out there and illegal supporters have used it to death. It's not true, never was, never will be. Americans made this country what it is, and when our government gets rid of all the illegals we will make it great once again. If illegals are so invaluable, and so hard working why are their countries such a mess that they are running from as fast as they can. And if they are so invaluable why is it illegal for them to work, live and cross our borders.

Hey mate, different lingo in the states, but I see you've got a major OOPS in the making. We call them stock dams here in the Dakotas. We also use a product mined locally called "bentonite" for the 'weepers'. They use it as a lubricant for drilling oil wells around here and it also makes great mud for mud wrestling and mud volleyball. RScott
