A pilot project in California covered irrigation canals with solar panels and reduced water evaporation by up to 70%, cut algae growth by 85%, and also made the panels produce up to 5% more energy because the water underneath cools the modules better than the ground.

Interesting facts

The algae bloom that suffocates rivers and lakes has turned into an opportunity: a project between Lithuania and Poland collects the biomass and transforms it into biogas, fertilizers, pigments, and cosmetics, attempting to address one of the most persistent problems of eutrophication.
