The need of creating the barrier for inflow, access, flow-through, efflux, outflow, or lastly the effect of ground waters and dissolved solids results from as numerous (or surely more numerous) necessities as the number of “flows” specified above. Anti-filtration barriers can be grouped in many ways depending on the fundamental purpose required in hydraulic engineering and geoengineering. The study presents various aspects of creating waterproof barriers in the ground in the short and long term, discusses the most commonly used technological solutions, and finally provides examples of such actions and warns about possible consequences.
