Supporting Sustainable Growth in Agriculture and Aquaculture
Geomembranes are essential for efficient water management in agriculture and aquaculture. In farming, they support rainwater harvesting, farm pond lining, canal lining, and protected cultivation—helping reduce water loss and improve yields. In aquaculture, they provide secure, leak-proof ponds that maintain water quality and support healthy, high-yield fish farming.
AIGMA promotes the use of BIS-compliant geomembranes by supporting manufacturers, guiding best practices, and engaging with policymakers. Our goal is to empower farmers and aquaculture operators with reliable, sustainable solutions that enhance productivity and ensure long-term water security.
Together, we’re enabling smarter resource use and a more resilient rural economy.
Why Geomembranes Matter in Agriculture
Farm Ponds
Used to line farm ponds for rainwater harvesting, geomembranes help store water longer, reduce losses, and provide a dependable irrigation source.
Canal Lining
Lining canals with geomembranes prevents seepage into the soil, improving water delivery and conserving resources across irrigation networks.
Fish Farming
Geomembranes are widely used in fish ponds and aquaculture tanks to prevent water loss, maintain clean conditions, and support healthy, high-yield fish cultivation.
Storage
Ideal for compost beds, silage beds, and biogas pits, geomembranes safely contain organic waste, protecting soil and groundwater from contamination.
Benefits for Farmers
Water Security
Lined ponds and tanks store rainwater safely, ensuring irrigation availability even during dry spells and droughts.
Efficient Irrigation
Canal and pond lining reduce seepage losses, allowing more area to be irrigated with less water and energy.
Durability
Engineered to resist chemicals, UV radiation, and extreme weather, geomembranes perform reliably over long periods.
Cost Savings
Long-lasting geomembranes reduce maintenance, eliminate tanker dependency, and improve return on investment.
Waste Management
Used in compost pits and biogas units, geomembranes promote clean, leak-proof handling of farm waste and slurry.
Post-Harvest Protection
Geomembrane covers safeguard silage, manure, and crops, minimizing spoilage and preserving nutrition.
AIGMA’s Role in Agricultural Geomembrane Use
AIGMA plays a key role in promoting the responsible and widespread use of geomembranes across India’s agricultural landscape. By working with policymakers, manufacturers, and agricultural institutions, AIGMA ensures that farmers have access to high-quality, BIS-certified geomembrane products suited for water storage, irrigation, and farm waste management.
We actively advocate for the inclusion of geomembranes in government subsidy schemes, support farmer training programs, and help bridge the gap between industry innovation and on-ground needs. Through awareness campaigns, technical guidance, and knowledge sharing, AIGMA continues to strengthen sustainable and efficient farming practices across the country.
