In order to properly store groundwater, your lagoon must be lined with a potable-grade certified liner that prevents seepage. This prevents chemicals from leaching into the water either from the liner or soil itself. This keeps water clean and safe to use for both humans and animals.
If evaporation or precipitation is a concern, a cover may be used. Stormwater and runoff control may also be used to prevent water from flowing in or around the lagoon.
