What is a floating cover?
A floating cover is a buoyant surface placed on an open water body to reduce evaporation, suppress algae, contain odour, and retain heat. The hexagonal modular variant — invented and patented by AWTT — packs at 99% effective surface coverage (AWTT-published), deploys without anchors, and tolerates irregular shorelines.
