Climate: Continental — south and east face accelerating summer drought; significant agricultural sector · Evaporation: 700–950 mm/year (typical Romania) · Water stress: medium
Romanian agricultural operators, water utilities, food and beverage processors, and biogas plants deploy hexagonal floating covers for evaporation control, algae management, and odor reduction. Southern and eastern Romania face accelerating climate-driven drought.
Romanian water context
Continental climate with summer drought concentrated in the south and east (Dobrogea, Bărăgan, southern Wallachia). Romania has Europe’s largest agricultural sector by surface area; irrigation reservoir storage is operationally significant.
