1. Waterproof

   Waterproof is a town in Tensas Parish in northeastern Louisiana, United States with a population of 834 as of the 2000 census. However, the population declined in the 2010 census by 17.5 percent to 688. The town in 2010 was 91.7 percent African American. Some 24 percent of Waterproof residents in 2010 were aged sixty or above. Waterproof is approximately seventeen miles north of Ferriday, one of the two principal communities of Concordia Parish. The town is named for its relative safety from flooding prior to construction of the Mississippi River levee system. Poverty abounds in Waterproof, a delta town dependent on farming. Cotton is the most common crop, but corn and soybeans are also important. In 2008, drought destroyed much of the corn crop. The former Hunter's Brothers Store, once a mainstay of Waterproof, is featured in an article in the first volume of the publication North Louisiana History.

Examples of Waterproof in a Sentence

1. Tom Bruton:

   They're extremely strong, and they are extremely persistent, and that's what makes them so good for nonstick, waterproof and stain-repellant products.

2. Kendra Sharp:

   I’ve been using the Rains bag for years after too many precarious snow-in-tote-near-my-work-laptop moments, it zips closed to be totally waterproof, meaning I can walk to work in the rain as much as I need to. It’s also lasted me almost four years now, so I ’d recommend it to anyone.

3. Haley Huggins:

   Specifically for waterproof gear, you would start to feel water coming in shoulders, where the rain would be hitting you, if you can feel that water is not rolling off or wicking away, or if it’s soaking into the fabric, then you know it’s time for a DWR treatment.

4. Pete Cunningham:

   In addition to being the world's first smartphone to integrate thermal imaging it's also the world's most waterproof phone, you can take this to depths of five meters waterproof. It's also designed to be dropped from 1.8 meters onto concrete without smashing, so there's lots of other rugged credentials that means we deliver it in this size. I think over time you'll see the ability to reduce the thickness of the device as well.

5. Nikwax McLean:

   You can test the water repellency of your jacket at home with a simple test: Spray a little bit of water on your jacket using a spray bottle, if it starts to soak in or spread on the front of your coat, it’s time to re-waterproof. If the water beads on the surface of your jacket, then the waterproofing on your jacket is fine for a while longer.
