Solar panels generate power – while saving water!

A new way to save water is on the way – using solar panels! California’s Turlock Irrigation District has a cool plan to solve two problems at once, by installing solar panels over the canals that carry water through the state.

The solar panels would generate energy, while doing the double duty of greatly reducing evaporation of the water due to heat and sun. In turn, the cooling effect of the water helps keep the solar panels from overheating and losing efficiency.

What a great idea!

Good news! On October 11, The Ocean Cleanup project finished their final test run of System 002, designed to clear plastic garbage out of the ocean. The test run cleaned 20,000 pounds of garbage out of the water!

Their goal is to clean most of the Pacific Garbage Patch by 2040. Much of this trash consists of fishing nets and other commercial fishing debris, while the rest is consumer plastic that ends up in the water system. While there’s still a big path ahead, it’s wonderful to hear that the test run was successful, and we could be on the way to a cleaner ocean very soon!
