1. A temporary barrier system comprising:
a plurality of absorbent bags, wherein each absorbent bag comprises:
an outer casing that is substantially impermeable;
a liquid absorbing powder within the outer casing, wherein the powder consists of a cross-linked sodium polyacrylate and potassium polyacrylamide polymer; wherein the powder is configured to absorb at least fifty times its weight in water to form a gel-like mixture to expand the absorbent bag;
an integral self-sealing port in the casing for adding water to the absorbent bag, wherein the self-sealing port is configured to self-seal without closure of the port in that the gel-like mixture will not leak out; and;
the plurality of absorbent bags are configured to be stacked upon one another to create the temporary barrier system.
