The use of geosynthetic products in irrigation ponds is of great importance in terms of preserving water, preventing leakage and increasing the structural stability of the pond. Geosynthetics enable efficient and sustainable use of irrigation ponds by offering a variety of functions and advantages. Here are the main geosynthetic products used in irrigation ponds and their areas of use:

Main Geosynthetic Products Used in Irrigation Ponds

1. Geomembranes

Polyethylene (HDPE, LDPE): High-density polyethylene (HDPE) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) geomembranes create waterproof barriers. They ensure water conservation by preventing water leakage.

PVC Geomembranes: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) geomembranes are also used to prevent water leakage and are known for their flexibility.

2. Geotextiles

Separation and Filtration: Geotextiles are used to separate and filtrate soil and other materials. Increases stability on the pond bottom and edges.

Protection: Geotextiles protect geomembranes from mechanical damage.

3. Geocomposites

Drainage and Barrier Function: Geocomposites are combinations of geomembrane and geotextile. They provide leakage control and drainage functions together.

4. Geosynthetic Clay Liners (GCL)

Waterproof Barrier: GCLs consist of a combination of clay and geomembrane layers and form a waterproof barrier. They are used to control leakage in irrigation ponds.

Usage Areas and Advantages of Geosynthetic Products

1. Preventing Water Leakage

Geomembranes and GCLs prevent water leakage at the bottom and edges of the pond. This ensures water conservation and minimizes water loss.

2. Stability and Erosion Control

Geotextiles and geogrids increase the stability of pond edges and prevent erosion. It prevents soil loss and protects the structural integrity of the pond.

3. Protecting Water Quality

Geotextiles and geomembranes protect water quality. It prevents pollutants in the soil from mixing into the water and ensures that the water remains clean.

4. Cost Effectiveness

The use of geosynthetic products is lower cost than traditional methods. Additionally, they reduce maintenance and repair costs due to their long life.

5. Ease of Installation

Geosynthetic products can be installed quickly and easily. This speeds up construction processes and reduces labor.

Sample Usage Scenarios

1. Agricultural Irrigation Ponds

In ponds used for agricultural irrigation, geomembranes and geotextiles are used to preserve water and prevent leakage. This is important for efficient use of water and increasing agricultural productivity.

2. Fishing and Aquaculture Ponds

In fish farming ponds, geomembranes and geocomposites are used to protect water quality and prevent water leakage. This improves fish health and productivity.

3. Landscaping and Recreational Ponds

Geomembranes and geotextiles are used in decorative ponds in parks and gardens to prevent water leakage and preserve the aesthetic appearance of the ponds.

The use of geosynthetic products in irrigation ponds ensures efficient water conservation, environmental protection and long-lasting structures. These products play an important role in creating sustainable and economical irrigation systems.
