Integrated urban water management (IUWM)
Professor Gustaf Olsson of the Lund University of Sweden has researched and published widely on the Water-Energy Nexus.    Olsson also mentions water cost of hydroelectric in africa through evaporation.    I wonder if this could be mitigated with solar panel covers floating on the water.   Possible impacts on wildlife and water quality i guess.
