New monolayer and associated dam evaporation control systems
Abstract
The project has made significant progress in researching improved monolayer products and associated application systems. A range of new generation monolayer materials have been developed and tested. Some show far superior evaporation and volatilization resistance compared to current commercial products. Initial small scale field trials of one product E10 show promising results. Provisional patents have been lodged to protect the design philosophy for new generation monolayers. Potential sensors for mapping monolayers have been researched. Technical scoping and preliminary design of monolayer monitoring application and control systems has been completed. Funds to progress this work are being sought from Queensland Government and National Program for Sustainable Irrigation
