Evaporation can cause significant water loss from lakes, reservoirs, and farm dams, particularly during hot and windy conditions.
Traditional water management methods are no longer sufficient. This has led to the adoption of innovative solutions like windbreaks and floating covers. These approaches not only reduce evaporation but also improve water quality and promote sustainable water use.
Dams play a critical role in water resource management, providing water for irrigation, drinking, power generation, and other essential needs. However, one of the major challenges dams face is evaporation, which leads to significant water losses over time. As climate change and water scarcity become more pressing concerns, it’s essential to adopt strategies that minimize evaporation losses from dams. In this article, we’ll explore eight effective ways to tackle this issue and optimize the water storage capacity of dams.
