A recently published Chinese study found that irrigated areas tend to be cooler than non-irrigated. Not surprising given cooling impact of evaporation, but if we are supposed to be worried about climate warming, hard to understand opposition to pond construction. Ponds overall moderate temp extremes, cooler in summer heat waves and warmer in winter lows, plus slow erosion & increase biodiversity.
