Viral Video Proves the Internet Loves Shade Balls

A video showing multitudes of shade balls being dumped into a Los Angeles reservoir has gone viral after Mayor Eric Garcetti announced that the city-wide initiative, which is intended to save 300 million gallons of water annually, had been completed. Shade balls protect water quality by “preventing sunlight-triggered chemical reactions, deterring birds and other wildlife, and protecting water from rain and wind-blown dust.” Credit: YouTube/Las Virgenes Municipal Water District
