  • Energy and Water Co-Benefits from Covering Canals with Solar Panels B
    Nature Sustainability, 2021 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41893-021-00693-8 Author-formatted copy Energy and water co-benefits from covering canals with solar panels B. McKuina,b*, A. Zumkehra, J. Taa, R. Balesa, J. H. Viersa, T. Pathaka, J. E. Campbell b* a Sierra Nevada Research Institute, University of California, Merced b Environmental Studies Department, University of California, Santa Cruz * Corresponding authors: [email protected] and [email protected] Solar-power development over canals is an emerging response to the energy-water-food nexus that can result in multiple benefits for water and energy infrastructure. Case studies of over-canal solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays have demonstrated enhanced PV performance due to the cooler microclimate next to the canal. Further, shade from the PV panels has been shown to mitigate evaporation and could mitigate aquatic weed growth. However, the evaporation savings and financial co-benefits have not been quantified across major canal systems. Here we use regional hydrologic and techno-economic simulations of solar PV panels covering California’s 6350 km canal network, which is the world’s largest conveyance system and covers a wide range of climates, insolation rates, and water costs. We find that over-canal solar could reduce annual evaporation by an average of 39 ± 12 thousand m3 per kilometer of canals. Furthermore, the financial benefits from shading the canals outweigh the added costs of cable-support structures required to span canals. The net present value (NPV) of over-canal solar exceeds conventional over-ground solar by 20% to 50%, challenging the convention of leaving canals uncovered and calling into question our understanding of the most economic locations to locate solar power.

  • Where Does Our Water Come From?
    Have you ever wondered where your water comes from? Here in Huntington Beach, about three-quarters of our water is drawn from local groundwater supplies, while the rest is imported from both Northern California and the Colorado River. Shasta Trinity Lake Water from Northern California travels to us through a complex delivery system Lake known as the California State Water Project. Designed and built in the 1960s, the State Water Project is one of the largest public water and power utilities in the REDDING world, providing drinking water for more than 25 million people statewide. THE Managed by the California Department of Water Resources, the project stretches CALIFORNIA AQUEDUCT over 700 miles, from Lake Oroville in the north to Lake Perris in the south. Water Lake stored in Lake Oroville, Folsom Lake, and other tributaries, and fed by snow melt Oroville from the Sierra Mountains, flows into the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers, and from there into reservoirs in the Bay-Delta region. Feather River Sacramento From the Bay-Delta, giant pumps lift the water into the 444-mile-long California River Aqueduct, there to flow southward to cities and farms in central and Southern Folsom SACRAMENTO Lake California. Composed mainly of concrete-lined canals, the Aqueduct also includes over 20 miles of tunnels, more than 130 miles of pipelines, New Hogan and 27 miles of siphons. Along the way, the water is pumped Reservoir Managed by the Metropolitan The 2,882 feet over the Tehachapi Mountains. The Edmonston Water District of Southern Bay-Delta Pumping Plant alone lifts millions of gallons a day up California, the Colorado River SAN San 1,926 feet, the highest single water lift in the world.
