The Guide for the Installation of Floating Barriers: Biobardas and River Boom is based on a framework that ranges from a general discussion of the basic structures for floating barriers to the distinctive features of River Booms and Biobardas, complementing each design with case studies in the Dominican Republic and Colombia. The River Boom represents a more advanced style of floating barrier suitable for handling larger volumes of waste, whereas the Biobarda is a simpler type of floating barrier ideal for intercepting smaller volumes of waste.
