PV to reduce evaporative losses in the channels of the São Francisco’s River water transposition project

Abstract Open water transposition channels in hot and arid regions, like those in the São Francisco River Integration Project (PISF) in Brazil, suffer significant water losses through evaporation. This paper proposes covering these channels with photovoltaic (PV) panels to reduce evaporation while s...
