Reducing Evaporative Water Losses from Irrigation Ponds through the Reuse of Polyethylene Terephthalate Bottles
Evaporation is one of the sources of water loss from artificial reservoirs used by the agricultural sector. Current methods of covering artificial reservoirs are too costly to be used by poor, small-scale farmers. This paper presents a method for using waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles...
