You DO think these little floating balls will keep bird poop out of the water. What is going to keep these little floating balls from rolling around? Or keep bird poop, which is runny, from running off to the side?

you've failed to demonstrate that covering a reservoir means more bacteria. You must have an abundance of research papers

I don't need to demonstrate it and I don't need any studies. I know uv light kills bacteria and anything floating on the water will provide shade and block uv light.

WR,
You must have an abundance of research papers in your briefcase which shows it does.
Personally, I'd like to see the research papers that show that the city of Los Angeles will save $250M by dumping $37M worth of black plastic balls into a reservoir.

Seems like that's a lot of evaporation that the balls are supposed to be preventing. If it's such a great idea, why not do that with other reservoirs? Unless it's an experiment, which I'm fine with.
