NEW TECHNIQUE FOR SOIL EROSION ON HILL ROAD
[attachment=17733]
INTRODUCTION
DEFINITION
Erosion control systems may be a single or group of practices that prevent detachment
and interrupt the transport of soil by rainfall,
runoff, melting snow or ice and irrigation water. Since
phosphorus is often attached to sediment particles, erosion control systems serve to decrease phosphorus delivery from agricultural areas.
GEOSYNTHETIC CLAY LINERS
GCLs consist of a thin layer of sodium bentonite sandwiched between two geotextiles.
Sometimes the bentonite/adhesive layer is laminated to a
geomembrane.
Sodium betonies are not itself a mineral name, but more correctly, it is steatite clay composed primarily of the mineral Montmorillonite
ADVANTAGES FOR GCL
Cost is very less when compared to the cement.
Adeshive property is very high.
It is used in thick compacted clay layer.
