Ponds

The use of geosynthetic products in pond areas provides important advantages such as preventing water leak, protecting water quality and increasing structural stability. These products perform a variety of functions to preserve water, stabilize pond bottoms and edges, and provide environmental protection.

Main Geosynthetic Products Used in Pond Sites

• Geomembranes: Used as waterproof barriers, geomembranes are commonly used to prevent water seepage at the bottom and edges of ponds. They are made of materials such as polyethylene (HDPE, LDPE), polypropylene (PP), PVC.
• Geotextiles: These products are used for separation, filtering, reinforcement and protection functions. They can be used at the bottom and edges of ponds to increase stability, maintain water quality and prevent erosion.
• Geocomposites: These products, consisting of combinations of geomembrane and geotextiles, perform seepage control and drainage functions in ponds. Additionally, they can be used to protect geomembranes from mechanical damage.
• Geogrids: Used for stabilization and reinforcement of pond edges. They are effective in soil filling and erosion control.
• Geosynthetic Clay Liners (GCL): Composed of a combination of clay and geomembrane layers, these products form a waterproof barrier and are used to control seepage at the bottom of ponds.

Usage Areas and Advantages of Geosynthetic Products in Ponds

• Leakage Control: Geomembranes and GCLs prevent water from leaking from the bottom and edges of the pond, minimizing water loss and protecting groundwater resources.
• Erosion Control: Geotextiles and geogrids prevent erosion of pond edges and increase stability. This controls erosion caused by natural factors, especially rain and wind.
• Environmental Protection: Geosynthetic products prevent water pollution and minimize the environmental impacts of ponds. It also plays an important role in maintaining water quality in ponds.
• Cost Effectiveness: The use of geosynthetic products is lower cost than traditional methods and reduces maintenance and repair costs due to their long life.
• Ease of Installation: Geosynthetic products can be installed easily and quickly. This speeds up pond construction processes and reduces labor.

Sample Usage Scenarios

• Agricultural Ponds: In ponds used for agricultural irrigation, geomembranes and geotextiles are used to preserve water and prevent leakage.
• Fishing Ponds: Geomembranes and geocomposites are used in fish farming ponds to protect water quality and prevent water leakage.
• Recreational Ponds: In decorative ponds in parks and gardens, geomembranes and geotextiles are used to prevent water leakage and preserve the aesthetic appearance of the ponds.
• Mining Ponds: In water storage ponds used in mining sites, geomembranes and GCLs are used to prevent contamination of water and provide environmental protection.

The use of geosynthetic products in pond areas offers many advantages both technically and environmentally. These products provide effective, economical and sustainable solutions in the construction and maintenance of ponds.
