Constructed wetlands replicate natural processes to manage water by removing contaminants through plants and microorganisms. They are typically designed to treat wastewater and improve its quality.
One of the most important benefits of geomembranes is their ability to minimize water loss, maintaining consistent water levels within the wetland.
The geomembrane acts as an impermeable barrier, preventing infiltration and protecting both the system and the surrounding environment.
HDPE can last more than 20 years, even under harsh environmental conditions.
It is highly resistant to chemicals commonly found in wastewater.
Installation is quick and adaptable to different designs.
Once installed, it requires minimal maintenance, reducing operational costs.
It allows better control of water flow, optimizing the treatment process.
Modern treatment plants use geomembranes to ensure efficient and controlled processes.
They are also used in irrigation systems and water storage applications.
| Material | Impermeability | Durability | Cost |
| Clay | Medium | Low | Low |
| Concrete | High | Medium | High |
| HDPE Geomembrane | Very high | Very high | Medium |
The use of geomembranes reduces long-term costs by minimizing water loss and preventing infiltration issues, making the system more efficient and cost-effective.
The implementation of HDPE geomembranes in constructed wetlands is an efficient solution to control water loss and prevent infiltration. Their durability, resistance, and low maintenance make them an ideal option for sustainable and cost-effective projects.

It is highly effective, as it creates an impermeable barrier that almost completely eliminates water loss.
Yes, when properly installed, it virtually eliminates infiltration into the subsoil.
It can last between 20 and 30 years depending on conditions and maintenance.
