Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) can reduce the permeability of soil by reducing the pore volumes. A MICP-based soil improvement method to control water leakage in irrigation channels and reservoirs built on sandy soil grounds is presented in this article. Using this method, a low-pe...
