1. A water structure comprising, at least a pair of sleeves formed as tubes from a flexible material selected to resist punctures; means for maintaining said pair of sleeves, in side by side relationship, along shared longitudinal surfaces that includes a pair of flexible fabric belts that are each positioned in opposition to one another and along each shared longitudinal surface, sandwiching said shared longitudinal surface therebetween by said means for maintain said pair of sleeves; means for providing access into each said sleeve end; at least one means for containing a volume of water in each said sleeve to expand said sleeve, means for maintaining each end of each said sleeve in a closed attitude, holding a volume of water therein; and means for maintaining said pair of sleeves in side by side relationship. 2. The water structure as recited in claim 1, wherein the means for maintaining said pair of sleeves is a plurality of seams sewed through said opposing fabric belts and along common longitudinal surfaces of said pair of sleeves together. 3. The water structure as recited in claim 2, wherein the pair of sleeves are formed from two flat sections of sleeve material, and each said flat section of material is folded upon itself and joined along common edges thereof. 4. The water structure as recited in claim 1, wherein the sleeves are of different diameters. 5. The water structure as recited in claim 1, wherein the means for providing access into each sleeve end is a zipper that is sewn in at least one end of each said sleeve. 6. The water structure as recited in claim 1, wherein the means for providing access into each sleeve end is a collar sewn into at least one said sleeve end that is of a diameter to accommodate a tube end fitted therethrough. 7. The water structure as recited in claim 1, wherein the means for maintaining the pair of sleeves in a side by side relationship is an outer sleeve formed of the sleeve material and is of a diameter to fit around the pair of sleeves that each contain at least one water filled tube. 8. The water structure as recited in claim 7, wherein each of the pair of sleeves are connected to one another along shared longitudinal surfaces. 9. The water structure as recited in claim 1, wherein the means for maintaining the pair of sleeves in a side by side relationship is a flat section of a flexible ground sheet material that is positioned under the side by side pair of sleeves and is individually connected along shared longitudinal surfaces to at least one of said side by side pair of sleeves. 10. The water structure as recited in claim 1, further including forming at least one gather in one of the pair of sleeves, providing a reduction in sleeve diameter along said gather.
