Liners for Static Water Level Detention Ponds

[DavidSB1950]

Any recommendations for liners to be used in lieu of compacted Clay for creating static water level detention ponds in sandy soil? or is Clay lining still the most cost-effective way to creat water amenities in residentail subd?
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks
David

you could use a bentonite/fbric liner. the bentonite is sandwiched in a fabfic. Roll it out and cover with sand.

I belive the bentonite liner comes in 10mm or 20mm thickness and is is self sealing . If used in a residential subdivision you may have to protect it with some type of solid covering like a 4 "fabriform concrete mat.
Bentonite liner covered with Fabriform is used in applications where some pond access is necessary for equipment servicing or just general clean out occasionally.
