This article provides a comprehensive overview of Geosynthetic Clay Liners (GCLs) as the cornerstone of modern impermeable lining systems for constructed water bodies. Beyond simply replacing traditional compacted clay, this guide details the unique self-healing mechanism driven by high-swelling bentonite, which ensures long-term hydraulic integrity even under  stress. This article highlights a systematic comparison demonstrating GCLs' superior low permeability and installation efficiency. Furthermore, it delivers a standardized workflow—from design and site preparation to installation and quality control—positioning GCLs as the most efficient, reliable, and sustainable containment solution for engineered ponds and lakes.
