Canal liners are materials used to line the bed and sides of a canal in order to prevent water seepage and maintain the canal's structural integrity. These liners can be made of a wide variety of materials including concrete, clay, or geomembranes, depending on the purpose and location of the canal. For example, an irrigation canal used in agriculture will probably want a geomembrane that is plant-safe and resistant to chemical leaching.
Liners help maintain water levels, enhance durability, and reduce maintenance costs by minimizing erosion and leakage. They are especially important in irrigation, drainage, and industrial canals, where water loss can significantly impact efficiency and operations.
