The images below depict the use of brush and small timber layered and woven to create floating mats and dams. These images were in the U of I photo archive but did not include an explanation; a key word was waddling which is a term used to describe a historical form of building called waddle and dob which refers to the use of mud and sticks to construct a building. It is easy to imagine a floating carpet of greenery using an updated version of the method below. Notice the people standing on the outer edge of the mat.
