Abstract: ECOFRIENDLY BAMBOO-BASED FLOATING DEVICE FOR WATER CONSERVATION The present invention relates to water conservation technologies and, more particularly, to an ecofriendly bamboo-based water evaporation suppression system. The present invention provides a bamboo-based floating evaporation suppression system (100) includes a raft base (1) formed by a plurality of bamboo arranged in parallel rows to create a stable base using natural fibres securely lashed together. Further, the said raft base is coated on either side with two difference compositions, mainly solar-reflective composition coating (2) applied on upper part of said base that exposed to sun and hydrophobic composition coating (3) applied on bottom part of said base that in contact with water. The said modified bio-tar–silica formulation functions as a hydrophobic barrier, thermal insulating layer, and protective sealant, while the reflective coating reduces solar heat gain. Together, these components provide an environmentally sustainable, economic and durable solution for reducing evaporation losses from open water bodies. Figure no. 1
