Puddling clay can be used as a lining for flood defence schemes. Puddling is a process which is commonly used to line ponds, lakes, canals and reservoirs, it can also be used to cap or line landfill sites. Using the puddling clay as a liner is an eco-friendly option as it is a much more natural method than using flexible pond liners which are also sometimes not as durable.

​

The process is quite simple, the clay needs to be compacted so the air bubbles are squeezed out, this then forms a watertight barrier, to get the best results a tractor, digger or a compactor will run over the surface.
