     · In some situations, dry or semidry mixture of concrete cement, fine and coarse aggregate are filled in cement bags and such bagged concrete is deposited on the bed below the water. This method does not give satisfactory concrete because the concrete mass will be full of voids interspersed with the putrescible gunny bags.
