Black 'shade balls' are released in reservoirs to save drinking water, US



A video showing multitudes of shade balls being dumped into a Los Angeles reservoir has gone viral after Mayor Eric Garcetti announced that the citywide initiative, which is intended to save 300 million gallons of water annually, had been completed. Shade balls protect water quality by “preventing sunlight-triggered chemical reactions, deterring birds and other wildlife, and protecting water from rain and wind-blown dust.”
