The Role of Pond Liners in the Construction of Resilient and Long-lived Ponds
Creating a pond is not just about digging a hole and filling it with water. This is an engineering challenge that depends on good knowledge of soil permeability and environmental conditions. Left without a containment, even the most wonderfully crafted pond will experience water seepage or loss, soil erosion and pressure upon its structure. The key to a durable pond is the quality of barrier used to separate the water from the earth. The Basic Functions of Geomembranes in Water Retention Liners basically serve as waterproof barriers to keep the water contained in your feature from leaching into the surrounding land. Most soils are porous and will suck in water until the pond is dry or the water table has been reached. With high quality materials are owners of property can keep their water levels constant. This is of special significance in arid regions where the water is a scarce resource. A robust liner allows you to hold onto your initial investment in water by avoiding the constant ...
