You'd have to pump loads of water for it then? to fill the pool and replace what is lost to evaporation.

"I think on a smaller scale test with an artificial pool would provide some solid answers. We could even put solar panels across the surface to limit wind and solar evaporation effects "

If it's artificial pool you'd need evaporation to cool it.

Do you not consider lake Powell to be an artificial body of water?
