Access to safe water is a basic human need. It can improve the health, economy and social well-being of a community. Only three percent of Earth’s water is a freshwater like water reservoir dams, lakes and rivers. The supply of clean water to meet human demands is very limited while in recent year, temperature of Earth have increased each year due to human activities like uncontrolled logging and increasing number of vehicles. In consequently, it will increase the rate of evaporation in open surface water like water reservoir dams which are human main clean water supply. Hence, this arise a need for solution to prevent evaporative water loss in water reservoir dam. The key objective of this project are to study and develop an innovative solution to prevent evaporative water loss in water reservoir dam as well as to compare the solution developed with existing solutions.
