Application of Geo-Textile and Terrasil Chemical to Reduce Permeability of Soil

Storage of water for multipurpose is very important and sub soil of the structure will absorb some amount of water and some water evaporates and deposition of silt content will create problem for storage. An artificial lake was constructed at Potadar farm near Navage village. But due to permeable nature of subsoil, the need of water storage is not succeeded, In order to meet this need; the rate of permeability has to be controlled. This project includes the analysis of permeability property by following techniques (1) Chemical stabilization; (2) Use of geo-textiles. Model has been prepared and various tests with geo-textiles, terrasil chemical were carried out for permeability of soil. Further effects of chemical on plants are analyzed and suitability of chemically contaminated water was tested for irrigation and drinking purpose. This study also includes cost comparison of different techniques, so as to adopt suitable economical method to control rate of permeability. Among all techniques, chemical test was economical and effective for reducing the permeability of soil.
