Turlock Irrigation District (TID) in Turlock, California, is intending the country's initial pilot project to construct solar panel canopies over a part of the water energy's existing canals. Project Nexus is intended as a multi-use solar project, analyzing water evaporation reduction from mid-day shade and also wind reduction; improvements to water quality and reduced canal maintenance through minimized vegetative development; as well as generating renewable energy.
