Yes, the Water-Gate will stay in place provided the water level is not much higher than the top of the Water-Gate.

Do not forget that the flow of a stream never remains the same due to alternate periods of drought and abundant

rainfall. Also, in northern areas, the water barrier can be distributed by moving ice.

Observation: If the Water-Gate remains in a stream for a month or longer, a light coat of silt will form inside, on

the fabric at the bottom of the immersed Water-Gate. After four months, only 50% of the fabric will remain visible

due to the thickness of the silt.

If the Water-Gate is left for several months or even several years in a stream, will it stay in place during

that period?

Parallel water flow is not a problem. In the example below, there was more water flowing than the Water-Gate

intended to withstand, and the current was swift. In the same trail with lots of parallel flowing water, we attempted

to damage the Water-Gate with wood fragments. Our testing process was rigorous but did not result in any

damage to the Water-Gate.

Will the Water-Gate withstand parallel water flow?
