also, from the pix, looks like solid blocks were used. it has more weights density so it hold up more than the hollow 16x8x8 cinder blocks. I assume you are using cinder blocks. anyhow, if I was you, I would use mortar to keep them together.

Uhhh...it didn't hold!!! Only 2 blocks high. Had a huge problem when the wall fell over. Now...4 feet below ground. One block high above ground. Then another block on top of the liner holding no water. My wife arrived to see me holding back the levee when the wall started to bow. Then jumped out of the way to see the water floooow. This project is getting less fun by the minute!!
