Two good things solar panels over water reservoirs are:

1.) It prevents land-use conflicts.

2.) Due to the temperature-regulating effect of water and little shadowing, it also improves PV efficiency

Here's this assuming you need it in a form of a sentence:

In general, putting solar panels on water bodies prevents land-use conflicts. It also improves PV efficiency due to the temperature-regulating effect of water and little shadowing, while the water body benefits from reduced algae development and evaporation.

hope this helps!:))
