ABSTRACT:
There is provided a process for rendering certain layers impervious to the seepage of water through same. Such layers are of value in preventing water seepage into structures, and also from ponds, from water reservoirs and the like. The water impervious layers are produced from mixtures of sand (about 98.5 to 90 weight percent) and montmorillonite (about 1.5 to 10 weight percent), which are compacted and contacted with salt water having a salt content at least equal to that of sea water, and washing the layer until the wash waters are essentially free of sodium.
