Application of geomembrane in hydraulic engineering
Geomembrane, as an efficient anti-seepage material, plays a vital role in water conservancy projects. Its excellent anti-seepage performance, light and easy construction characteristics and relatively low cost make geomembrane become an indispensable part of water conservancy projects.
First of all, in the construction of reservoirs, geomembrane can play a very good anti-seepage role. Because reservoirs are usually built in valleys or low-lying areas, the geological conditions are more complex, so effective measures need to be taken to avoid leakage between the bottom of the reservoir and the surrounding rock. The use of geomembrane can effectively solve this problem, and can also improve the safety and stability of the whole reservoir.
Secondly, it is also necessary to use geomembrane to strengthen the anti-seepage effect during the construction of levees. A dike is a man-made structure whose main purpose is to protect the downstream area from flooding. However, in the construction process, there will be many unpredictable factors leading to loopholes, at this time, it is necessary to use geomembrane for remedial measures.
Third, in the river and channel governance, geomembrane also has a wide range of applications. Rivers and channels are very important components of water conservancy projects, they can not only regulate water flow, protect farmland and urban infrastructure, but also improve the ecological environment of the entire region. However, in the governance process will encounter some difficult problems, such as loopholes, landslides and so on. At this time the use of geomembrane can be a good solution to these problems.
