Solar Panels Over California’s Canals Could Save 63 Billion Gallons of Water

Solar Panels Over California’s Canals Could Save 63 Billion Gallons of Water

California has launched pilot projects installing solar panels over water canals, helping reduce water loss from evaporation while generating clean electricity. If solar panels were placed over all ~4,000 miles of California’s canals, researchers estimate up to 63 billion gallons of water could be saved each year.
