Solar River v1.0 on Fox News today!

Solar Over Canal Project | Drone Zone In this week's edition of Drone Zone, we take a look at the new Solar Over Canal Project in the Gila River Indian Community. The project is being heralded as a way to conserve water and generate power in an innovative, modern way. FOX 10 Drone Pilot Brian Kae has more.

Our pilot project was featured on Canary Media's page, they're one of my favorite media outlets due to their critical approach to global warming and renewable energy coverage.

The US is about to get its first solar-covered canal Thousands of miles of canals stretch across the U.S. A pilot project on tribal land in Arizona shows the benefits of covering these waterways with solar panels.

It's always great to see your clients happy!

Recycling 115 year old floor joists into a workshop counter on which new prototypes and architectural models will be fabricated on. Whether it’s small things like this, whole buildings, or canals, always looking for a way to better the situation and conserve what we already have. Happy New Year!

The Solar River testing may now start!
This is a scientific testing setup that measures the benefits of covering and powering canals with solar energy.
An idea from India, but first of it's kind on this hemisphere. In Arizona, moving water is the largest single use of electricity and the largest energy user that needs to be decarbonized immediately. funded by located at

Bringing a River Back to Life As the desert southwest becomes hotter and drier, the Gila River Indian Community of Arizona is showing how it’s possible to both restore rivers and responsibly manage water used for agriculture an…

Any and every measure to save water, Arizona NEEDS to take! Thermo-electric water generation is the largest industrial user of water in the US. Water that goes up in steam and cannot be recycled locally (as municipal can be). Moving water is the largest single user of electricity in Arizona. It's time to cover and power our canals with Solar energy!

When we reach the power pool level, electracy will no longer be deliverable, vastly increasing water use with thermo-electric power (gas & coal).

Lake Powell has officially dipped just below 3,525 feet in elevation, reflecting the Colorado River Basin’s dry winter season. The dip is temporary and was reflected in last night’s end-of-day hydrology report. The reservoir’s elevation is expected to climb above 3,525 feet through the course of the spring runoff season.

The target elevation of 3,525 feet provides a 35-foot buffer and allows time for response actions to help prevent Lake Powell from dropping below minimum power pool (elevation 3,490 feet), the lowest point at which Glen Canyon Dam can generate hydropower. Reclamation’s Upper Colorado Basin Region and the Upper Division States, with the assistance of the Upper Colorado River Commission, are preparing a Drought Response Operations Plan that will propose additional actions to help protect Lake Powell elevations in 2022 if appropriate.

We need to switch to renewables, now.. But there are other sites besides pristine wilderness, which can provide utility-scale space for solar panels.

Solar boom casts shadow on Death Valley National Park Developers are looking to build as many as 14 large solar projects on Bureau of Land Management land in Nye County, Nev. Some residents and officials are

Solar farms will have a brighter future if they protect biodiversity Solar installations are often bad for local plants and animals — but they don’t have to be.
