Floating Covers: Uses and Applications

In agriculture, mining, and industrial operations, water has become one of the most critical and constrained resources. Yet, every day, vast volumes are lost through evaporation — a silent, often invisible process that carries significant economic and operational costs. The real issue is that most farmers and operations managers only become aware of these losses once the...

This article presents a clear and comparative overview of the five most commonly used floating roof technologies, explaining that they do not all solve the same problems or deliver the same level of performance. From simple and economical solutions like geomembranes and mesh to more advanced alternatives such as modular floating elements, nature-based solutions, and phot...

Irrigation ponds are a critical asset for agricultural water security. Beyond evaporation, however, they face another costly and often underestimated threat: algal blooms. Algae proliferation degrades water quality, increases maintenance and chemical usage, and directly compromises irrigation efficiency by clogging filters, pumps, and drip systems — ultimately driving up...
