Canals
Concrete-lined canals can crack over time, resulting in significant water loss. Earthen canals are likewise subject to erosion and water loss. GSE products provide effective, affordable protection against canal damage.

GSE geomembrane systems offer maximum flexibility and durability in a range of water canal applications, and are suitable for implementation in new or existing canals. GSE’s installers have more experience installing geosynthetic products than any company in the industry.
Case Studies
GSE Lining Eliminates Water Loss in Putah South Canal
The Putah South Canal in Vacaville, CA, which supplies irrigation water for the Solano Irrigation District, was having a continuing problem with seepage. After only partially mitigating the problem by lowering the surface height of the canal water, the decision was made to reline the worst section of the canal, which was about 4,000 feet in length.
