Mining geomembranes play a vital role in water management within mining operations. Geomembranes are commonly used as liners in tailings ponds, which are large containment structures used to store the waste materials (tailings) generated from mining processes. The geomembrane acts as a barrier, preventing the seepage of water and contaminants from the tailings pond into the surrounding soil and groundwater.
Mining operations often require water for various purposes, such as dust control, ore processing, and site operations. Geomembranes are used to construct water storage ponds, which are designed to capture and store water from natural sources or as a part of water recycling systems. The geomembrane acts as a liner to prevent seepage, maintaining the integrity of the pond and ensuring water availability for mining operations.
