ABSTRACT:
A lagoon cover made up of a number of individual sections, each of which has a body formed of flexible sheet material. The cover sections are releasably connected together in edge to edge relationship, and the connection is such that each section may rise or fall relative to adjacent sections. Buoyancy means is attached to the body of each section to support that section on the lagoon, and each section also preferably has stabilizing means which is at least partially immersed in the lagoon and serves to resist movement of the section across the lagoon. Gas transfer means is provided so that gas caught in the space between the cover and the lagoon surface, can be transferred from one part of the cover to another. Pressure relief means is also provided to automatically relieve excessive build-up of pressure in that space.
