2016-01-13 17:12:00| National Hog Farmer
Manure ponds have gained much attention recently with regard to their being protective of the environment. This is Part I of a two-part series on manure pond liners, case study of installation of synthetic liners, a system to detect seepage rate from manure ponds, and a system to detect leaks in manure ponds. Part II will be Feb. 19. Location Livestock and Poultry Environmental Learning Center United States See map: Google Maps Manure ponds have gained much attention recently with regard to their being protective of the environment. This is Part I of a two-part series on manure pond liners, case study of installation of synthetic liners, a system to detect seepage rate from manure ponds, and a system to detect leaks in manure ponds. Part II will be Feb. 19. Three experts will discuss varying aspects of manure pond construction and maintenance.
