Subject: [permaculture] Conserving water in ponds

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?
