    "... protecting water from rain..."
    Sounds logical.

    It took a lot of balls to come up with an idea like this.

      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

      Riley Johnson Emm... They are black, so this means then heat a lot more and this leads to far more evaporation and no water.

      +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

    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 White balls would still be translucent, letting light through to the reservoir.

      Maleblade Precisely, especially as black attracts and concentrates heat from the sun.

  • @ako3379

    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.

    How about just stopping flushing down perfectly good drinking water down the toilet?
