Description: Future increases in human and live stock populations will create increasing demands for fresh water. In many areas, including semi-arid and arid regions of Western Canada, the avail able water supply is limited. In order to utilize the water resources to their maximum efficiency, water conservation becomes a necessity. Water is lost through the process of evaporation from free water surfaces, evaporation from moist soil, and through deep percolation into ground water. The elimination of un necessary waste is the first step in the water conservation program. The losses from soil and water surfaces through evaporation perform little useful function except replenishing the air vapour storage with moisture necessary to complete the hydrlogic cycle. In semi-arid and arid regions the potential evaporation losses exceed the total precipitation.

Keywords: the use of monomolecular film to retard evaporation from free water surfaces
