Bamboo near a pond

I've got a pond with a liner which bamboo will be best around it?

A running bamboo (like phyllostachys) will pierce the liner.

Go for a clumper - the ground cover(running bamboos) are much more likely to penetrate the pond liner!

For cold areas look at Fargesias, for the warmer areas, you may wish to look at the Dendrocalamus or Bambusas.
