This report summarizes the results of a scoping study performed to research the use of geomembrane lining systems for pumped storage hydropower (PSH) reservoirs. The study consisted of a literature review for pertinent and publicly available information about geomembrane lining materials and their use in dams, reservoirs, and PSH as well as an assessment of the applicability of geomembrane lining systems to PSH reservoirs.
