Evergreen deep-dives and current developments in water evaporation and conservation. Every article links back to the underlying science and cites its sources.
An evergreen roundup of the themes shaping evaporation research: a widening vapor-pressure deficit, floating-solar growth, and field studies of covers.
· Editorial Team
Why blocking sunlight suppresses algae, the oxygen and gas-exchange trade-offs of full coverage, and how to weigh water-quality benefits against them.
· Editorial Team
Duckweed, lilies, windbreaks, and chemical monolayers for small ponds — what they realistically achieve, their limits, and when low-tech makes sense.
· Editorial Team
A neutral look at shade balls, hexagonal tiles, and hybrid panels: field reductions, wind pile-up, coverage, and manufacturer vs study data.
· Editorial Team
What the Penman-Monteith equation does, the inputs it needs, why crop-ET over-predicts open water, and its realistic ±10–20% accuracy.
· Editorial Team
How open water evaporates: vapor-pressure deficit, the six driving factors, the boundary layer, why depth doesn't matter, and night-time loss.
