Abstract |
|
The extremely high rate of evaporation from water surfaces is reducing the optimal utilization of water in reservoirs. The paper presented aims at the use of Shade Balls, Chemical Films and Duckweed as Evaporation Retardants on open water surface so as to decrease the evaporation rate. The use of these Evapo- Suppressants in Colarado Sunken Pan of 920mm x 920 mm x 450 mm filled with water depicts the evaporation rate reduction under various circumstances. The practice of these three different methods were found to be effective in their own way considering various suitable conditions. |
