The primary difference between a canal liner and a pond liner are their design and application. A pond liner is typically used to create a watertight barrier in static water bodies like ponds or reservoirs, focusing on preventing seepage and maintaining water levels. It is often made of flexible materials like geomembranes or rubber to accommodate the irregular shapes of ponds.
In contrast, a canal liner is designed for water channels with flowing water, prioritizing durability and resistance to erosion caused by water movement. Canal liners are sometimes made from more rigid materials like concrete or compacted clay, but may use geomembranes on their own or as an underlayment in order to handle the structural demands of water flow and the pressure of surrounding soil.
