(54) Water barrier


(57) The invention relates to a water barrier, which may be deployed temporarily. It consists of a system of metal support elements (1) which support a plastic sheeting (5). The system may be transported, unrolled and erected using very little effort and after being used it may be rolled up again. An important saving in material is obtained by designing the support elements (1) such that they are subjected to tensile forces.
