Installing solar panels over canals could save California 65 billion gallons of water a year, researcher claims
Brandi McKuin of the University of California, Santa Cruz claims that covering California’s canals with solar panels can save the drought-prone state around 65 billion gallons of water every year. She explained that canopies of solar panels would provide shade to the canal water during the summer months. This, in turn, would save enough water to irrigate 50,000 acres […]
