A thin layer of oil on top of water will mostly prevent the water from evaporating, because the oil will float on top of the water and keep the water molecules from escaping from the water's surface. Water dissolves very little in ordinary oil, so hardly any water molecules diffuse through the oil.
Some oils evaporate themselves, though, and if you wait long enough, the oil may evaporate away, leaving a hole for the water underneath to evaporate. If the oil layer is too thin, it may leave a hole somewhere for the water molecules to escape by evaporation. Emulsifying agents, like soap, stick to oil molecules and to water molecules, allowing the two to mix. Adding soap to water with oil on top of it may allow the water to evaporate.
Really dirty oil, like the stuff you get out of car engines if the oil isn't changed often enough, may contain so many small metal particles in it that it will sink in water. This kind of oil will just sit on the bottom and not affect the evaporation rate.

Opening/closing of leaf pores (stoma) has the purpose to control evaporation.
Water is distilled by evaporating it, usually by adding heat and bringing it to boil
Evaporated water is vapor.
water evaporating
Evaporating the water salts are obtained from the solutions.
Lower temperature and the counter-effect of condensation.

The cuticle is thick and waxy. Thanks to the Cuticle, it helps reduce the rate of water loss, which also benefits in dry environments, and hot seasons such as in deserts. Water is very little, so plants can survive longer witout water.
Vinegar will evaporate - though perhaps more slowly than plain water. But you must remember, ordinary white vinegar for kitchen use is still 96% water.
Water in an open system is allways evaporated.
watering in the evening usually prevents the water evaporating, and early morning is to prevent it from frosting/freezing up...
You can call evaporating water by a number of names, but the most common are water vapor and steam.
By evaporating the sea water. What remains is salt.
yes the water pump would be bad if its evaporating the water very quick.
you know that haa..
if aliquid is evaporating the particles are far apart and move very quickly randomly ! :D
Water is evaporated mostly from bodies of water.
