ABSTRACT:
A barrier which can be easily deployed in a lagoon, pool or other containment structure to partition and provide isolation between adjacent bodies of water or other liquid. As a result, different treatment operations can occur in the adjacent bodies of water which are separated by the novel curtain barrier. The bodies of water can also be easily rearranged by use of the invention. The barrier includes first and second curtains of flexible water impermeable material which are disposed in a generally vertical disposition and the bottoms of which are joined to a bottom web which preferably is integrally formed with the first and second curtains. The bottom web is adapted to be disposed on the lagoon bottom and ballast material is contained between the first and second curtains on the bottom web to seal the barrier to the lagoon bottom and to prevent movement of the barrier in response to wind, tide, current or other forces. The curtains extend upwardly above the surface of the water and are maintained in a generally vertical or upright orientation by floatation devices disposed along the length of the curtains.
