Talk:Shade ball

just wrote another article
when i found nothing about the balls in whole WP, i first started german article this morning. Right now i did a translation to english(though main part of sources has been english). Just before publishing in article space, i found this article here. :-/ So  --> User:Itu/Shade_Ball_Water_Covering (Yeah, i'm not a native english speaker.) --Itu (talk) 14:42, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Groovy! Thanks! SnappingTurtle (talk) 21:43, 13 August 2015 (UTC)


 * So, would you eventually agree replacing the existing text with mine(therefore moving or deleting the article)? I would build it up to the actual level of my german article. (Still enough to do for englishspeakers, fixing grammar style). --Itu (talk) 01:11, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

I think the mentioned 'experts' are wrong, but this needs 'consideration'. Headline-1: LA 'black ball' reservoir rollout potential 'disaster' in the making, say experts QUOTE: "LA's scheme to cover a reservoir under 96 million "shade balls" may not be all it is touted to be, experts told FoxNews.com, with some critics going so far as to refer to the plan as a "potential disaster." The city made national headlines last week when Mayor Eric Garcetti and Department of Water officials dumped $34.5 million worth of the tiny, black plastic balls into the city's 175-acre Van Norman Complex reservoir in the Sylmar section. Garcetti said the balls would create a surface layer that would block 300 million gallons from evaporating amid the state's crippling drought and save taxpayers $250 million." -- AstroU (talk) 12:04, 20 August 2015 (UTC) -- PS: FYI for future editing.

 * It should be noted that those who criticized said a) that the color (black) was a poor choice, as it would promote heating of the water and thus bacterial growth, and b) that the implementation of shade balls was purely political. The response (defence) was that black was a result of carbon in the production process, and "any other color would have required dyes … which could have then leached into the water while the carbon black does not." — Harry (talk ) 07:31, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

Article lacks history of 'shade balls'
Something creepy going on, why is there no history/backstory on 'shade balls'? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.150.249.160 (talk) 11:26, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
