He pointed out that <strong>there are advanced technologies</strong> used globally that are used on the surface of dam lakes with the aim of reducing evaporation, such as placing solar cells to benefit from solar energy, and placing rubber balls on the surface of the lake. These balls are made of certain materials and are placed on the surface of the water to reduce the surface area exposed to direct sunlight, which reduces the amount of evaporation and maintains the quality of the water and the flow of oxygen in it.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Read also:</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/content/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D8%B1%D8%AF%... | Ministry of Water and Irrigation: The rainy season has increased to 41.4% of the long-term annual average</a></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/content/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D8%BA%D9%8A%... change is turning into a dangerous monster and there are fears that it will devour the world in 2024</a></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><hr /><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Sources:</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://www.almamlakatv.com/news/136150-%D8%B3%D9%84%D8%B7%D8%A9-%D9%88%...
