Geomembranes are often used to line storage ponds during construction. This acts as an impermeable barrier that prevents the seepage of water into the surrounding soil. Geomembrane liners used in surplus groundwater storage often incorporate leak detection and monitoring systems. These systems include the installation of sensors or monitoring wells that help identify any potential leaks or breaches in the geomembrane. Early leak detection allows for prompt remedial steps, minimizing the risk of water loss or environmental contamination.
Geomembranes in surplus groundwater storage ponds are designed to accommodate overflow and outlet structures. Overflow structures allow excess water to be safely discharged from the pond during periods of high rainfall or when the storage capacity is reached. Outlet structures, such as pipes or culverts, enable controlled water release or transfer for various purposes, such as water treatment or reuse.
