A containment structure, called a tailings pond in the case of a mine[1], is a body of water with an impermeable lining at an oil or gas well, or at a mine which produces volumes of contaminated water. Failure of containment structures has resulted in a number of environmental disasters. Dry material, such as fly ash or mine tailings, may also be stored in containment structures, which can, for example, during a flood, fail and contaminate the larger environment.
