A comment on Effectiveness of trees in reducing temperature & outdoor heat exposure in Vegas. Parent comment
Increasing *evaporative* cooling by 0.5deg requires 3x more water, but shade alone is the *main* mechanism,it doesn't require water.
>during the day, trees provide significant shade by intercepting solar radiation, reducing mean radiant temperature (up to 16 °C)
