My first thought is actually the opposite: it accelerates evaporation, (I think). The color black absorbs the sunlight, making those balls really hot. Am wondering what's the water temperature in that reservoir during a hot sunny day.

That's why Labs are a thing "Controlled Environment". But with outdoors, you have alot of factors to cover and as you can see, they didn't see the reservoir problem "Sun said hello".

Some of these problems and benefits are also specific to this climate, so it's not to crazy that you've never heard about certain problems. For example algae growth might be less of a problem in cooler areas with less sunlight and lots of flowing water.

Especially after they went through the trouble of developing these balls to protect it?

[@benjamindminor1983]

Hyperion Yeah because 90% of people from LA are idiots. They should be using electric motor boats instead I’m sure Tesla or some idiot out there with at least 3 brain cells could make one.
