Plastic lining
The plastic membrane or poly vinyl chloride (PVC) lining offers a compact water barrier. This system is considerable economy. This method of lining the pond is very simple. The pond surface should be cleared first of all roots, vegetation etc., and the surface is made smooth over which the PVC membrane is laid. Anchorages are made in the ground for holding the membrane in proper position. The membrane is then covered with 30 cm of thick earth layer and well compact it.
