Building solar panels infused with toxic materials over California's aqueducts and storage dams is a looming environmental disaster.

The idea of putting solar panels on top of the worlds thousands of miles of irrigation canals has long seemed like a good one. In arid locations, besides the clean electricity, there is the added benefit of reducing evaporation.

Back in 2015, Californias dry earth was crunching under a fourth year of drought. Then-Governor Jerry Brown ordered an unprecedented 25% reduction in home water use. Farmers, who use the

Back in 2015, California's dry earth was crunching under a fourth year of drought. Then-Governor Jerry Brown ordered an unprecedented 25% reduction in home water use. Farmers, who use the most water, volunteered too to avoid deeper, mandatory cuts.

The idea is simple: install solar panels over canals in sunny, water-scarce regions where they reduce evaporation and make electricity.

Solar on canals has long been discussed as a two-for-one solution in California, where affordable land for energy development is as scarce as water.
