Monomolecular films of cetyl and other n-long chain alcohols, n-octadecoxy and other ethanols, and their mixtures, which in earlier laboratory experiments were found to be effective in reducing evaporation from water surface were tested in the open air in evaporimeters and small ground level brick-cement lined tanks. The results of these experiments are reported. It was found that the alkoxy-ethanol m9nolayers were more effective than the alcohols. The results are discussed in the light of the known physical properties of these substances, especially as monolayers.
