Creating Opportunities to Recharge the Groundwater Supply
While most pond owners aim to reduce seepage by installing an impermeable liner, there is a natural function to the effect.
Preventing Valuable Pond Water Loss Through Seepage
Every gallon lost from a groundwater storage pond represents wasted energy and a reduced volume available for irrigation or drinking water.
Reasons to Hold Groundwater Supplies in Ponds
Groundwater is defined as any water that manages to slip through the pores between particles of soil, sand, and rock and gather below the surface.
Groundwater Extraction and Pond Storage for Drinking and Agriculture
On the opposite end of the water storage spectrum, groundwater is often pumped during periods of high volume and stored for future use.
Reusing Mining Groundwater
Finding opportunities to reuse the processed groundwater, produced by mining and drilling, prevents environmental damage while saving money.
Retrofitting Existing Groundwater Lagoons
Failed, or leaking, groundwater lagoons aren’t necessarily beyond repair.
Lining Solutions to Preventing Contamination for Lagoons
Durable and flexible liners made from a high-quality polymer work best for groundwater storage lagoons and ponds of all kinds.
Lagoons vs Ponds
If you’re looking for standards from the EPA regarding groundwater and wastewater storage, you’ll need to determine whether you’re building a lagoon or a pond.
Uses for Groundwater Storage Lagoons in Mining
The mining industry builds some of the largest and most complex groundwater storage lagoons of all.
Storing Mining Groundwater in Secure Lagoons
Power generation plants, natural gas extraction sites and hydraulic fracturing all require groundwater for cooling or processing.
