ABSTRACT:
Dusting of a solar pond having an upper wind-mixed layer is controlled by providing a vertically oriented drain on a downwind side of the pond. The drain has an upper, open, free-end spaced above the level of the surface of the pond in the absence of wind. When wind blows across the pond, surface water piles-up at the downwind side of the pond creating a hydraulic head relative to the open free end of the drain with the result that surface water and debris floating thereon are drawn toward and into the drain.
