Abstract
Reports about bursting dikes or embankments are always hiting the headlines. Tbe low cost protection of dikes and embankments is considered to be an increasingly important subject. The question of protection against water on the one hand, and the availability and collection of water on the other, will increase with importance over the next few decades. In this context, polymer modified bituminous membranes can make a valuable contribution. The lecture includes many long term examples and their evaluation over a 20-year period.
