Do we think that these would reduce evaporation?
(Presumably by shading the surface of the water?)
Dieter seems to think there isn't anything to be
done about it. I am not a pond expert, although
since I plan to build a small one here at my house
in Oklahoma City, I will need to learn. Mine will
be more of a small pool, about 5' by 20' and 5 or
6 feet deep, though. Our coop producers have
larger farm ponds.
