Canal Lining Session at the GeoAmericas Conference 2020 (Full recording of the presentations)

I had the honor of collaborating with Pietro Rimoldi (then Chair of the TC-H) to organize a special session on canal lining technologies at the GeoAmericas 2020 Conference on behalf of the Technical Committee on Hydraulics of the IGS.

More than 180 geosynthetics and canal lining professional have attended the session! The Organizing Committee of GeoAmericas 2020 has authorized further use of the recording of these presentations, which are therefore listed below for convenience.
