Series:  Efficient Reclaimed Water Storage Using Geomembranes

Part 1:  Water Reuse in the U.S.: Top Opportunities and Challenges 

Many in the geosynthetic industry believe a geomembrane is only a fluid barrier and, in theory, needs very little strength. Any strength requirements are met by ancillary means, such as additional geosynthetic members or other load-bearing members. But few installations can be assured—with complete certainty—that they will not require some load bearing from the geomembrane itself.
