How to deal with the seepage problem to increase
the retention of your pond or reservoirs?
Dribbling is a very common and usual trait of the
water that almost every owner of pond or
reservoir or farmer faces. We have formally named
this dribbling Seepage. You can spot your pond
or reservoir water also in normal time and
especially after a heavy shower to leak through
by a narrow channel from one place to another.
Generally it happens due to ground water level
rising in soil that creates hydrostatic
pressure. Whenever you spot seepage you should
take action to stop it immediately or it can be
really harmful for your aquaculture.
So, to stop this seepage and maintain the clean
water level and quality at your storage you need
to put a barrier in the water and those channels.
In one word the solution of the seepage is Pond
Lining
Films or Pond liners.
What are a Pond Lining Films /Pondliner?
In a very laymans language we can call it a
synthetic barrier that is made of mainly plastic
tarpaulin
materials used to retain water and lining for the
pond, reservoirs, and retention basins etc.
For backyard and artificial pond or stream making
liners are must use material. As pondliners are
impenetrable by liquids, these are very helpful
to prevent the seepage problem anywhere.
Pondliners are only used for the prevention
of Seepage problem?
Every pond has a leakage problem through the pond
base. Even if you have solved the seepage/leakage
problem, you should install a liner for many
reasons, like
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.
Great support for a large level of variation in
aquaculture Proper maintenance of sediment and
debris Improve water quality Increase harvesting
Prevent soil pollution Reduce shrimp virus
Prevents oxygen into soil Prevents feeds mix
with soil at the pond bed Less cleaning
time Enhance the life of Pond or storage Fishes
grow larger and faster, stay disease free

Installing a quality liner can provide you the
benefit of all these along with so many
business advancements. There are so many case
studies which can prove the beneficial part of a
good liner.

What type of Pond lining film should be used
for Seepage problem?
There are almost seven types of pond lining film
are there available in the market. But all
the Pond liners have some common work to provide
security and protection for the pond. The liners
need to fit the uneven pond surface very well
that used to be weathering and frost resistant.
All the liners are generally compatible for fish
and plants because they are environmentally
neutral.
So whats the difference in all these seven?
They masters in different purpose and the
material, thickness and flexibility used to be
different in them.
They are
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
HDPE (high density polyethylene) LDPE (high
density polyethylene) RPE (reinforced
polyethylene) FPP (flexible propylene) PVC
(polyvinyl chloride) EPDM (ethylene propylene
diene monomer) Butyl

From these 7 type of liners Reinforced
Polyethylene (RPE) liners and Reinforced
Polypropylene (RPP) liners can be really helpful
to prevent seepage or leakage problem. It is one
of the most durable pond liners and this
geomembrane is wieldable, fish safe and resistant
to uv rays and chemicals. So the material used
to be very successful as a barrier to prevent the
liquids or water to flow out through the narrow
passage. But it must be installed properly. Only
a good installation can give you the best result.
A proper guidance and consultation while
installation is strongly recommended.
