Abstract

To identify or develop alternative polymers, which may successfully replace
polyacrylamide (PAM) as a reservoir or canal sealant, it is important to understand the
nature of the sealing processes in earthen irrigation water structures and how PAM
interacts with those processes to alter water seepage. The purpose of this paper is to
review mechanisms that influence water infiltration into unlined irrigation canals and
ponds and consider how PAM interactions with soils may alter these processes.
