Reservoir Covers

Covered reservoir, UK Many reservoirs are covered to prevent rain water or wind blown debris contaminating the stored liquids. Covers also prevent evaporation.

Reservoir covers need to be strong and flexible as well as having the correct chemical resistances so reinforced materials are normally used.
Reservoir covers float on top of the stored liquid and have facilities for rain water removal. Floats are used to ensure the cover is held in the correct position.
