It can uses space that doesn’t have that much other use.
It helps keep the solar cool to increase efficiency.
Can reduce water loss due to evaporation.
Constructed waterways are generally near people (or in this case a grid system.
Downside being electronics and water, so you have to use something that won’t corrode badly like zinc, which costs more.
Cleaning could be a sod.
