Advanced Water Treatment Technologies (AWTT) · USA
Pre-ballasted hollow HDPE spheres (100 mm) that self-interlock for ~91% surface coverage with an insulating air pocket — an industrial evolution of the basic shade ball. Evaporation reduction up to 90% (AWTT).
Hollow HDPE spheres deployed as a floating layer to reduce evaporation, light and odour on tanks, lagoons and reservoirs.
Geomembrane Commercial
Custom floating covers
Plastic Fusion Fabricators · USA
Custom-fabricated and installed floating covers in HDPE, LLDPE, RPP and XR-5 for potable water, process tanks, lagoons and containment.
Sensing Monitoring Commercial
Eddy-covariance ET systems (IRGASON / EC150)
Campbell Scientific · USA
Open-path gas analysers and sonic anemometers that compute evapotranspiration fluxes over land and water; instrumentation for measuring loss, not a suppression method.
Floating Modular Pilot
EnviroBalls
Global Environmental Solutions, LLC · USA
Engineered hollow floating spheres forming a self-adjusting modular layer aimed at evaporation, water quality, emissions and wildlife deterrence; a recently introduced product line.
Shade Cloth Commercial
Evaporation Canopy / Dam Cover
Netpro (Netpro Group) · Australia
A cable-suspended knitted high-density shade-cloth canopy held low over a dam to cut solar load and wind-driven loss; the supplier reports evaporation savings in the region of 70% on covered storages.
Geomembrane Commercial
Floating cover
Aquatan · South Africa
Reinforced flexible polypropylene (RFPP) floating geomembrane covers in potable and industrial grades; the firm reports more than 80 floating-cover installations across earth dams, concrete reservoirs and tanks.
Geomembrane Commercial
Floating cover systems
Environmental Fabrics Inc. (EFI) · USA
Custom-engineered floating covers in UV-stabilised geosynthetics for municipal, industrial and agricultural water, with typical service lives of 15–25 years.
Geomembrane Commercial
Floating covers
Solmax · Canada (global)
Geosynthetic floating-cover systems within a water-management product line for reservoirs and containment ponds.
Geomembrane Commercial
Floating covers
E Squared Geomembranes · USA
Custom HDPE floating covers for potable-water reservoirs and earthen basins, giving continuous surface coverage to limit evaporation, algae and contamination.
Floating Solar Commercial
Floating PV systems
Sungrow · China (global)
Large-scale floating-photovoltaic platforms and inverters used on reservoirs and ponds, shading part of the water surface alongside power generation.
Floating Solar Commercial
Floating solar membrane
Ocean Sun AS · Norway
Floating PV that mounts modules on a water-cooled flexible membrane covering the surface; proven from reservoirs to coastal waters, partially suppressing evaporation under the array.
Floating Solar Commercial
Floating solar systems
D3Energy · USA
Developer and installer of floating-solar projects on US water bodies, where surface coverage delivers some evaporation and water-quality co-benefits.
Floating Solar Commercial
Floating solar systems
Profloating B.V. · Netherlands
Floating-solar mounting systems for inland water surfaces, where the panel coverage partially shades the water and reduces evaporation as a secondary effect of generation.
Floating Solar Commercial
Floating-PV systems
BayWa r.e. · Germany (global)
Large floating-photovoltaic platforms deployed on reservoirs and quarry lakes; the developer lists reduced surface evaporation as a co-benefit of the coverage alongside power generation.
Geomembrane Commercial
Genafloat floating cover
Genap B.V. · Netherlands
Reinforced-geomembrane floating cover with venting floats to release accumulated gas, used to limit evaporation, algae and wave action on water and slurry storages.
Floating Modular Commercial
Hexa-Cover
Hexa-Cover A/S · Denmark
Floating hexagonal plastic elements that pack across a surface to limit evaporation, light and odour on industrial basins, lagoons and reservoirs.
Advanced Water Treatment Technologies (AWTT) · USA
Pre-loaded interlocking hexagonal HDPE tiles that self-arrange across a surface and follow changing water levels. Full attributed specifications are on the modular-floating-covers method page.
Weather stations and data loggers that derive reference evapotranspiration via the FAO-56 Penman-Monteith equation; they quantify atmospheric demand to inform water management.
Floating Solar Commercial
Hydrelio floating PV
Ciel & Terre International · France (global)
Patented floating-photovoltaic platform widely deployed on reservoirs; generates power while partially shading the surface, with evaporation reduction a secondary effect of coverage.
Floating Solar Commercial
Isifloating
Isigenere · Spain
Modular floating-PV floats for reservoirs and irrigation ponds; the manufacturer attributes a large reduction in evaporation to the shading the array provides over the water surface.
Sensing Monitoring Commercial
LI-710 Evapotranspiration Sensor
LI-COR Biosciences · USA
A self-contained eddy-covariance sensor that measures evapotranspiration directly; it quantifies water loss rather than reducing it, supporting water-budget and irrigation decisions.
Floating Modular Commercial
Modular Floating Cover System
Industrial & Environmental Concepts, Inc. (IEC) · USA
Insulated geomembrane casings connected into a modular floating cover for reservoirs, ponds, tanks and lagoons; individual sections lift out for access and the cover rises and falls with the water level.
Sensing Monitoring Commercial
OpenET satellite ET data
OpenET (etdata.org consortium) · USA
A satellite-based, field-scale evapotranspiration data service for the western United States; an ensemble of remote-sensing models quantifies water consumption rather than reducing it.
Geomembrane Commercial
REVOC / HypaFlex floating covers
Layfield Group · Canada / USA
Custom continuous floating covers and geomembranes for potable-water and process reservoirs, giving full surface coverage with gas-venting and rainwater management.
Advanced Water Treatment Technologies (AWTT) · USA
Hybrid rhombus-hexagonal load-bearing panels for high-wind, high-load industrial sites. Specifications and field evidence appear on the method and evidence pages, attributed to the manufacturer.
An automated Class-A-style evaporation pan with water-level and weather instrumentation that logs open-water evaporation; a measurement station rather than a reduction technology.
Chemical Commercial
WaterGuard GOLD
Aquatain Products · Australia
A polymer/silicone liquid that spreads into a thin gas-impermeable surface film to reduce evaporation; a surface-film product rather than a true molecular monolayer.
Chemical Commercial
WaterSavr
Flexible Solutions International · Canada / USA
A cetyl/stearyl-alcohol powder that forms a self-healing monolayer on open water; independent trials report modest, weather-sensitive evaporation savings.
