Do they just use sandbags as a temporary relief for sand boils?
It seems there are a good number of sand boils popping up just on river road between the casinos and gardere
And just six days until the crest..

The primary way of fighting back against a sand boil is sandbagging.
Sandbagging a few feet around the site confines the water seeping through to form a small pond above the leak. That pond exerts downward force back on the levee, equalizing the hydraulic pressure and slowing or stopping the flow of water through the levee. It acts as a counterbalance with water on both sides of the levee.
