Evaporation Control Technique in Open Reservoirs: An Overview and Assessment Study
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 2
Abstract
Global warming and the increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will affect temperature and rainfall.This rise in temperature ultimately results in evaporation losses from storage reservoirs. As water is limited resource and its conservation and management is important, so that there are different method to reduce evaporation from open reservoirs. These methods are mainly categorized as physical and chemical methods. Water losses by evaporation from storage reservoirs must be minimized for greatest utility of limited supplies. Hence in this paper we have focused on evaporation losses from the open reservoirand carried out test on artificial reservoir using low density polypropylene balls as floating cover to predict how much percentage of evaporation losses can be reduce from open reservoirs. From analysis 80-82% evaporation losses can be reduced to actual losses from water bodies.
