ABSTRACT:
A stanchion is constructed and designed so as to be emplaced near a body of water, with its upper pivotally mounted portion in a lowered position, and with the rising of the water, the pivotal section self-actuates and rises with the water level to form a water containment barrier which will redirect the waterflow and protect property disposed on the other side of the barrier. With the receding of the water level, the upper section of the stanchion is self-lowered, thus providing an aesthetically acceptable appearance. A plurality of such stanchions with interconnected flexible sheeting provides a continuous barrier which can contour a land mass adjacent to a body of water.
