Water is precious:
In India agriculture contributes 40% to our country’s GNP and gives subsistence to 70% of our population. And yet 1/3 of our total geographical area is drought –prone because we are dependent upon the monsoons which can be erratic. Drought-prone areas have to be provided water not only for human and cattle consumption but also for irrigation. Whereas even after good monsoons water is not available only because of lack of proper management and storage as mentioned in beginning.

Why pond lining?
These reservoirs and ponds are located in a variety of soil types which –exhibit a wide range of seepage characteristics. Because of seepage, the water level of the reservoirs and tanks depletes rapidly.seepage losses not only mean loss of useful water but also lead to other problems such as breach in the embankment, waterlogging and increased salinity in adjacent areas.

With appropriate lining of reservoirs, ponds, canals the seepage loss can be minimized.

Lining film is tough, multilayer, wide width, black, low density polyethylene (LDPE) film by the latest Co-extrusion blown film technique it is available in various widths (4 to 10 metres) and thicknesses (100 to 250 microns).

The Mppls Pond / Canal Lining film has excellent mechanical properties which meets the specifications for LDPE films as per IS:2508-1984. Moreover its multilayer structure significantly improves the film properties like impact strength, tear resistance, flex crack resistance, environmental stress cracking resistance, etc. MPPL s Multilayer Lining film has excellent water barrier properties (practically nil water permeation), very good blend of physical properties such as tensile-impact streanth coupled with good weatherability and chemical resistance properties.

he Overall Benefits:
Water harvesting and its conservation in an Lined pond is useful to get the maximum benefit from each rain drop, so that no water is wasted in runoffs. It is tailor-made for the lining of Canals and Reservoirs, Field Channels, Salt Pans, Fish Ponds and in various other heavy duty applications in the areas of agriculture and Water Management.
