| Geonets called geospacers by some, constitute another specialized segment within the geosythetic area. Geonet are usually formed by a continuous of parallel sets of polymeric ribs at acute angles to one another. When the ribs are opened, relatively large apertures are formed into a netlike configuration. Their design function is completely within the drainage area where they have been used to convery fluids of all types. |

| Applications of Geonet |
| |
| Geonets as described above are used almost exclusively for their drainage capability. As such, they are single-function geosynthetics. The following uses have been documented in the literature. |
- Water drainage behind retaining walls
- Water drainage of speeing rock slopes
- Water drainage beneath sport fields
- Water drainage of frost-susceptible soils
- Water drainage beneath building foundations
- Water drainage of plaza decks
- Leachate drainage of landfill side slopes
- Leachate drainage above landfill liners
- Surface water drainage within landfill caps
- As a drainage blanket beneath a surcharge fill
