+SoFZlodei24 It's not that simple, see - the balls are black for a reason because they will absorb the sunlight and then radiate it back as infrared light rather than directly transferring the heat into the water below. It's counterintuitive but it's science - they did their homework on this

shouldnt it be white to reflect sunlight? black absorbs sunlight and converts the enrgy to heat making those balls warmer and the water warmer....more evaporation. i could be wrong. why black?
The city is required to do human health studies and they did not!!!!! black plastic is never for hot water as it has carcinogens. also, production chemicals leach from plastics when heated. Oxymoron alert: black color absorbs heat which could heat up the water and make it evaporate quicker.
The seagulls are like *wtf*
"... protecting water from rain..."
Sounds logical.
It took a lot of balls to come up with an idea like this.
My Space FUNNY!! LMAO
Nestlé are laughing their asses off at this.
Drinking water + Plastics = bad idea
They don't biodegrade or break down they are coated with a special layer of paint all they do is slow evaporation and save water
Barry Soetoro F@CK!
Riley Johnson Emm... They are black, so this means then heat a lot more and this leads to far more evaporation and no water.

You know what they say: 'You gotta have balls...'
Maybe white balls would have been better to reflect sunlight and keep the water cooler.
Maleblade I guess who ever dreamed this up skipped physics class lol
Maleblade That's racist talk.
Maleblade White balls would still be translucent, letting light through to the reservoir.
Maleblade Precisely, especially as black attracts and concentrates heat from the sun.
Are they BPA free?
Damn those birds
that's about the sickest thing i've ever seen. people have gone mad. it's quite amusing but very sad

How about just stopping flushing down perfectly good drinking water down the toilet?
The seagulls are pissed..
plastic reaction with sun heat = cancer
Plastic is the solution to all our problems, the only problem is there should be more plastic ❤
You need a lot of balls to do something that big.
blame the birds.
If that is not clueless incompetence what is?
Say what now??
Operation Dark River
Why not always have balls?
Animal rights groups might not like this.
yeh plastic = bad, but at least the birds can get a drink
:(
Exactly
It looks more like making fun of the cirsis
white balls lol black is not the colour you want for this especially under that amount of solar radiation! seagull's are like wtf brah lol
