A floating cover is a flexible membrane or structure designed to rest on the surface of a liquid, such as water or wastewater, providing a barrier between the liquid and the atmosphere. Typically made of materials like geomembranes or reinforced plastics, floating covers help reduce evaporation, control odors, prevent algae growth, and maintain water quality.
Since floating covers float on the surface, they adapt to changing water levels and can be customized for different shapes and sizes of water bodies. They find applications in reservoirs, ponds, tanks, and other liquid storage systems across industries where they offer environmental benefits and contribute to water conservation efforts.
