With the ever increasing demands for conventional agricultural products from an incessantly burgeoning society it is necessary to keep a balance on what is available to meet Society’s future food requirements. This is particularly poignant when it is put in to the context of population groups who are needy and who are not able or capable to purchase nor to provide for their own needs in terms of a sustainable system of agriculture. Water based farming methods have proven to be simple, cost effective and to provide population groups with all the nutrients they require to follow a healthy well balanced diet. Typical farming methods employ the use of Tilapia, Prawns and shrimps and freshwater crayfish. Trout and Perch.

The lining of freshwater ponds and lagoons for the rearing and harvesting of these diverse forms of aquaculture can be simply and effectively undertaken by the use of flexible geomembrane liners whose key properties, in the Polyethylene range are especially well suited to Aquacultural activities in that they are durable, non toxic and chemically inert.

These linings enhance water quality, will not discolour nor cause distaste to water which are vital properties when considering their use for foodstuffs to be ingested by humans.

On the practical side, because the Enviro Seal Liner systems are smooth and will not readily attract micro-biological activity they improve pump efficiencies and ease cleaning operations of the aquaculture system – In so doing they also minimise any potential that may exist for disease by allowing a higher level of hygiene management to be applied to these facilities.

The lining of these facilities prevents entry of groundwater pollutants from entering the food chain, whilst at the same time prevent faecal and waste deposits from entering the groundwater. The management of the system is facilitated by the fact that pond volumes remain constant which means that there is less variability in operating water temperatures which improves the quality of the final crop. For the owners of such facilities the inevitable benefit is that of improved profit potential.

Typically, Linings which fall into this category can be divided, but certainly not limited to the following groups: Ponds / Tanks / Raceways/ Hatcheries/ Fish production / aquaculture/ Mariculture.
