Puddling (engineering)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In building and maintaining canals, puddling is lining the channel with waterproof clay. The clay must be tamped down with a tool called a punner, or trodden down, or compacted by some other means (e.g. by an excavator using the convex outside of its scoop, or by driving cattle across the area).
