Shade Dome for Reducing Evaporation of Open Body of Water
The present invention relates to means for substantially reducing evaporation from an open body of water comprising a plurality of domes which cover the surface of the water. The domes are hollow with a predetermined buoyancy for maximum surface coverage and self-stabilization without added weight, and are preferably made of transparent or translucent polycarbonate, high-density polyethylene, or acrylonitrile styrene acrylate, and also having a minimum light intensity of 2700 lux through the dome to sustain organisms living in the open body of water.
