Really not sure about this as an ornamental. But at 50% off, I guess it is a bargain?!?

Great presentation on reducing evaporation losses by from farm dams by Michael Scobie SQNNSW Innovation Hub As we head into summer, what’s your plan for reducing losses from irrigation or stock water storage? Wind breaks, earthworks, anti-evapo agents, floating / suspended covers?
