Water Evaporation where you live

My central Texas town always sees hot summers, but this year has dried up the runoff pond, and even the community lake is 30% lower than the year before. The wildlife has fled or is in decline; the aeration pumps are off; and algae and mosquitos will soon take over.?

It’s not just the scorching weather and the lack of rainfall. It’s that over 10% of water in artificial aqueducts evaporates each year. 10%! Nationwide, these losses impact the reservoirs, lakes, and rivers that sustain our food growth.

These evaporation losses (or infrastructure protection volume [IPV] losses) are getting so bad that states that benefit from the Colorado River Basin might soon be paying for that evaporated water. You read that right: Farms in the California Imperial Irrigation District may soon pay for water that isn’t even there by the time they get to use it and they’re already facing cuts in allocations.

What if, instead of solutions only focusing on reducing water usage, districts and authorities also had an increased water supply available? SpiroFlo has a technology solution that can help to reduce evaporation, helping keep water where it’s needed most.
