Shows a sketch of a first embodiment of an offshore fresh water reservoir
90: Sea Water
92: Fresh Water
100: The Reservoir
102: Upper flotation portion that extends above the waterline
104: A pliable, downwardly extending skirt
106: Optionally, one or more hoop supports may be fixed to the skirt, to maintain or encourage a desired transverse shape for the skirt
108: The distal end of the skirt comprises a distal tapered portion for stability.
110: A floating interface assembly is provided within the volume defined by the skirt. The floating interface assembly of this embodiment comprises a closely packed plurality of buoyancy members
112: Anchor assemblies are attached to the reservoir
116: The buoyancy members may comprise spheres, (e.g. hollow plastic balls), that are filled with an intermediate-density fluid having a density that is between the density of the freshwater and the density of seawater.
200: A flexible floating curtain system is provided comprising oppositely disposed curtains
