Hi all, nice forum and glad to be here.
I've read through a good many threads and posts here about leaky lake levees. I see alot about Bentonite clay and Pondseal. Obviously both do a good job. I haven't been able to find much about pond liners, ie the large rolls of heavy mill such as the 10 X 50 and even the 15 X 100 rolls. I'm assuming by the lack of mention here in relation to the other methods that this might not work as well. I just wanted to see if anyone has had success with using the heavy pond liners to stop a leveee from leaking.
I also see a lot of info about applying large amounts of clay to the front of levees to stop them from leaking, but I can't find anything about digging a small core ditch from the top of the levee down, and packing it with Bentonite or similar products to stop a leaky levee. I'm referring to a fairly small ditch, such as 25 long and maybe 2 feet wide. I wondered if you could blend clay soil with leak sealing clay like Bentonite with success.
Am just curious to get some feedback and ideas and experience from these methods.
Thanks again.
