ABSTRACT:
A covering system for canals to minimize evaporization loss from water transportation canals. The system comprises a plurality of strips of liquid impervious materials of predetermined length adjacent one another forming a section. The strips are secured to a transverse support at one end of each section. The strips float on the canal surface in both a flowing and quiescent condition. The sections of strips are spaced so that in the direction of flow adjacent sections overlap a predetermined distance to accomodate fluctuations in the water level in the canal.
