No doubt, Renewable energy ...

No doubt, Renewable energy sources are the future solutions to the power crisis faced by countries. Many States Government of India; like Karnataka, Gujarat and Maharashtra have planned to cover the water canal with solar panels to avoid evaporation of water, which in-turn will also generate electricity to meet the energy demand.
Coming to wastewater ponds; we need to think, as one of the main characteristic of wastewater is the odour/smell nuisance. If the pond is covered, it will be deprived of sunlight (no light no photosynthesis) which in turn will lead to anaerobic conditions and there by odour/smell nuisance will increase.
I strongly feel that all the Governments office, Institutions, Apartments and Shopping Mall/complex to install rooftop solar panels to meet there (full or part) energy demand. Strict laws have to be enforced and good incentives/subsidies have to be given to encourage the use of renewable energy sources and also for water harvesting structures.
