How Does Climate Influence Evaporation Suppression Efficiency in Floating Covers?
Bassem Mady · ESS Open Archive (preprint, under review) (2026)
Key finding (our summary)
A regional/global modelling study (Mady and colleagues, ETH Zürich / Eawag) assessing where floating modular covers deliver the greatest water-saving return. Suppression efficiency is shown to vary substantially across arid, semi-arid and humid climate zones, yielding a feasibility map for deployment. Note: a preprint awaiting peer review, included here as emerging research.
An early look at matching floating covers to climate — useful for targeting where they pay off most, with the usual preprint caveat.
