Will the Shade Balls Protect Our Drinking Water?
As you may know or not, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) deployed around 400,000 balls in the Ivanhoe reservoir since 2008 for the environmental reasons. Later in 2015, 96 million shade balls were dumped into the Los Angeles Reservoir to improve water quality and save water. (See picture above- Image credit: AP/Damian Dovarganes).
