What is the best material for lining my garden pond, rubber or cement?

Ponds and water features can be lined with cement; however cement will deteriorate and crack in time unless it is heavily reinforced with steel. This can be extremely expensive and requires a great deal of knowledge of installation techniques. Rubber liners are extremely durable and offer the added benefit of flexibility which allows them to conform to irregularities and shifting in the surrounding terrain.

Rubber liners also require less manpower to install and, depending on the mil rating, will last 20 years or more. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
