Improving water resilience with water storage lagoons and EPDM linings

Soaring summer temperatures mean farms need to build their resilience to the threat of water shortages with a water storage lagoon that captures rainfall for use at drier times of year and allows them to use their full Environment Agency abstraction entitlement.

A robust lining membrane like Firestone’s GeoGard EPDM system prevents the stored water from seeping into the ground.

Flexible enough to absorb substrate movements, GeoGard EPDM has excellent U/V and hydrostatic pressure resistance.

The membrane’s large format also means the number of seams can be reduced, limiting the areas where the lining is most vulnerable, resulting in a hardwearing lining solution.
