Waterproofing has increased greatly in the last decades, as a result of two circumstances:

An increased demand for water that makes it necessary to take maximum advantage of hydric resources.
The necessity of waterproofing drains and deposits of residual waters to protect the subsoil from polluting products coming from wastes.

Waterproofing materials

Traditional materials used for waterproofing are clays, concrete screens, gunites and cement injections, and asphaltic screens. Since the appearance and development of plastics, the use of geomembranes (name given to synthetic products in sheet form used in waterproofing), grows every day since much smaller thicknesses are necessary than with traditional materials to get the same or better waterproofing at a lower cost.
