Consider it one big summertime inflatable.

Construction crews recently began installing a large rubber inner tube-like device atop the Bowersock Dam on the Kansas River. The work is part of the $25 million project by the Bowersock Mills & Power Co. to build a new hydroelectric power plant on the north bank of the river in downtown Lawrence.

Gosh. I look at this picture and have thousands of memories of this place. But I don't know how they will make an inner tube device sink and hold water. Well, this is the river where they make concrete boats float, I guess they can make inner tube like devices sink. :nono:
