Method for reducing or preventing the leak from a solar Pond, which comprises the formation of a Screen Wall in Embankment adjacent to the solar Pond, the wall is formed from a mixture comprising Clay, Cement and Water; a modified solar Pond; and Screen Wall.

摘要

Slurry walls and methods of using those slurry walls to seal unlined solar ponds are provided. The slurry walls are formed from a mixture comprising clay and cement in water. A trench is keyed into the dike surrounding the solar pond, down to a geotechnically predetermined level. The slurry is deposited into the trench and allowed to harden, after which it is covered with a membrane or other covering. The inventive slurry walls reduce, and preferably prevent, leakage of water from the solar pond.
