Why use Anti-seepage geomembrane in salt production?
Solar salting involves evaporating water from brine to extract salt. This process requires placing saltwater in shallow pans, allowing the sun to evaporate the water and leaving the salt behind. Yet, if the soil lacks impermeability, water might seep through, diluting the brine and diminishing the salt concentration, thereby impacting both yield and quality. To solve this problem, Salt Field ...

How thick should a HDPE pond liner be?
The main function of high-density polyethylene pond liners is to avoid direct contact with soil and avoid water pollution. High-density polyethylene pond liners prevent waste from accumulating in the soil and prevent harmful chemicals such as ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, acids, iron, and other harmful compounds from entering the pond, thus reducing the risk of disease and Protecting and promoting ...

Quantifying the Rapid Melt of the Greenland Ice Sheet
In the face of global warming, understanding the behavior of polar ice sheets has taken on new urgency. The Greenland ice sheet, the second-largest body of ice on the planet after the Antarctic ice sheet, plays a critical role in this context, contributing greatly to rising sea levels. In fact, if the entire Greenland ice sheet were to melt away it could contribute to a global sea level ...

Fighting Saline Intrusion With Desalination
30 years of data show salinity of groundwater increasing even far from coasts After 30 years of monitoring wells, the latest U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) research shows groundwater across the nation is becoming saltier. It has long been known that seawater can intrude when coastal aquifers become depleted and sea levels rise, but the most recent research throws light on saline intrusion far ...

Why Do You Need Geocells for Road Construction?
What Is A Geocell? In 2011, a construction company in Wisconsin, USA, mixed honeycomb grids with sand and gravel and laid them on the ground to build a road. This operation is confusing. It turns out that this magical honeycomb grid material is called a geocell. It is a three-dimensional mesh structure made of reinforced HDPE sheets and welded with high strength. It is flexible and can be ...
