FACTORS AFFECTING THE CHOICE
OF LINING MATERIALS
The choice of containment system must be based on a risk assessment,
one element of which is the ability of the liner itself to minimise the risk
of leakage of dangerous contaminants into ground or surface water. It is
however, equally important to take into account any physical or logistical
constraints which may render a technically acceptable liner impractical.
The principal considerations, which should be identified, are listed below:

measure of the rate of flow of water based liquid through substrate
assuming a hydraulic head of 3 metres.
