Geomembrane Action Leakage Rates

The new issue of Land and Water magazine includes Ian Peggs’ article on geomembrane action leakage rates. He writes: “The objective of using a geomembrane liner in a potable water reservoir, a waste water treatment plant lagoon, a CAFO pond, or any other kind of liquid containment facility is, of course, to prevent loss of liquids which are obnoxious or valuable. Leaks are most undesirable, to say the least. But we have learned over the years that while non-leaking facilities can apparently be built, we should not rely on single liners to be totally impermeable, for nothing is.” Read a PDF copy of the article from Land and Water.
