System and method for mitigating evaporation from reservoirs
A connector (11) for buoyant sheeting (41, 43) used to mitigate or reduce evaporation from a body of water, and a system and method for reducing evaporation from a body of water is disclosed and claimed. The connector (11) is elongate and extends along an edge of the buoyant sheeting (41) or between edges of adjacent buoyant sheeting (41, 43) and has a plurality of fasteners (27, 29, 31, 33) located along the longitudinal extent of the connector (11). The fasteners (27, 29, 31, 33) are located on an upper surface of the connector (11), and are used to secure to edges of the buoyant sheeting (41, 43). The fasteners (27, 29, 31, 33) are best located in a position recessed from the upper surface of said connector, in order to provide greater streamlining of said connector against forces imparted by wind. The buoyant sheeting (41, 43) is provided with complementary fixings along its edges, aligned with the fasteners of the connector, so that sheets of buoyant sheeting can be secured along their edges to connectors (11) extending between adjacent sheets.
