Sandbags are really only used to divert floodwater into a specific direction, typically away from a house or a building. They don’t require any real knowledge to use them, they’re cheap, and they’re malleable. They are not water proof, and there is definitely bound to be leaking. But if you have a situation develop quickly and need to divert water, sandbags are very useful.
