Seepage and its control
Brick lining
It reduces the seepage at about 80% provided bricks are manufactured of best material and observed less water. Bricks may be laid flat or on edge and are embedded on 1.2 cm layer of 1:6 cement mortar on consolidated pond surface. The bricks should be plastered or pointed with cement mortar of 1:3 proportions.
