The western Indian state of Gujarat is all set to become the first state in the country to generate solar power through panels mounted on a water body. Installation of panels on the canal will help in doing away with the need to acquire land. Evaporation of lakhs of litres of water will be prevented since the canal will be covered. And will generate clean energy. Generated solar power will be supplied to villages alongside the canal, which will lead to lower transmission losses and also helping to reduce the evaporation of water.
~This is Gujarat. This is Narendra Modi. This is Development.~
This also would help solve one more problem, as solar panels heat up they loose efficiency, being over water would actually keep them cooler.
