A report has recently been released by the Oklahoma Climatological Survey predicting that as a result of climate change, droughts in Oklahoma will increase in frequency and severity. As a result, there is a discussion going on among the producers-members of the Oklahoma Food Coop over mitigation strategies. One issue that has come up is "conserving water in ponds", presumably by reducing evaporation.

Any thoughts about that? Would aquatic plants that cover the surface of the water help?
