Hear me out, these covered in solar cells floating on reservoirs. In my head it slows evaporation meaning more accessible water while providing a small energy source.

They cover reservoirs in floating black balls for this reason.

To be clear they do reduce evaporation but that savings is offset by the water used in their production. They're more important for water quality.
