shouldnt the balls be white?

We wuz evaporation denial systems n shit

Some official had a friend with a business that made plastic balls.

to block the sunrays from heating up and vaporate
you're trash amerimut, just read a book from time to time you lazy nigger

something to do with sunlight fucking up the chemical treatment so they cover it in black ping pong bolls

only if you actually want it to work

what about the plants that needs sunlight?

Does it work?
Water probably tastes like shit and it killed all the live in the water

to contaminate the water supply with plastics, it introduces estrogen to men.

But then the Sunlight will photo-degrade the polymers and pollute the water ;_;

Orange County went blue so it worked.

'cause there was either too much evaporation or there was some chemical reaction going on underwater - I forget which - so they needed to block out the sunlight.

D-do they do this everywhere?

Fuck'em.

maybe

Aesthetics.

wow you are so intelligent, you must have an iq of 270+....................idiot.

Your retard.

yes, standard house plumbing changed from metal to pex plastic tubing ~10yrs ago. municipal water supplies are not far behind.

Why do blacks have black hair? To soak the rays stopping them from reaching the skin and causing harm.

Nordic people have fair hair to let rays through to allow the synthesis of vitamin D in low sunlight conditions.

If you want to stop the rays, use black color. Otherwise the light will reflect among the balls and reach water anyway.

not politics
sage and report, please

It was to reduce water loss from evaporation. The "experts" who advise CA to do this also said to use white or blue colored balls. Not black. Cause black increases the chances of algae and fungus growth.

So CA took half of the advise. And in turn, is fucking up their water supply. Requiring heavier treatment before it goes out for consumption.

Yeah, I think happens is: the top of the black balls become very hot but the bottom stays cool.

If they were white the top would be cooler, but the bottom hotter.

made me think of this

Imaging being this beta holy shit

Faggot

just admit you were wrong to start this thread, don't dig your heels in

>36 cents each

I'll bet they cost less than 1 cent to make.

Why would the bottom of a white ball heat up?
The white ball would just have a cooler top.

That's why you wear bright clothes in summer. They dont heat up.

>Why would the bottom of a white ball heat up?
Because more light will pass through it.
Same reason I have black curtains in my bedroom instead of white.

>That's why you wear bright clothes in summer. They dont heat up.
Desert nomads often wear black.
I think on the TV show "QI" they once said for clothes it doesn't matter if they are white or black, they are about equally hot.

Plastic is a very poor heat conductor, that's why I think black plastic works.

To turn the friggen frogs gay!

yep to leech more plastic into your water, oh and don't forget sunlight makes it breakdown faster

What a dumb premise. What do they feed them with?

Alright Jeff Goldbloom, now back to Jurassic Park with ya

Cause water + plastic is the new paradigm of health

- Brought to you by agenda 21

how do they know when there's enough?

I just built my house 7 years ago, and it is straight copper.

What am I looking at here?

Black plastic balls to help stop water evaporating at a rapid pace. Just an attempt to keep the damns higher when there is drought.

good lord what is it like to have an entire nation live rent free in your head?

idk but i hope it leaks bpa and feminizes everyone

looks like black people hair.
is it a rap concert?

bribes and shit
it wouldn't have passed reality checks, let alone small scale testing
It's the same kind of retarded engineering that brought the world "solar roadways" and derivatives. It's a stupid idea in principle

Why not build a giant floating canopy? The black balls touching the water would adsorb heat then still evaporate the water.

You need shade and cover not conductors.

damn, i think the copper in my house might be gay

Isn't this going to increase global warming?

LA wasn’t femme enough so they are just bombarding it with leached BPA at this point.

Source on that? Ive seen these balls used in more places than California but never heard anything about how youre not supposed to use black ones.

it's a concrete-lined reservoir so I doubt there's any life in it

Nailed it.
