Bare earthen ware pots that are wetted down keep their contents cool as the water evaporates from its surface. This form of evaporative cooling has been around for thousands of years and is one of the first non-biological ways humans harnessed solar energy to do work.
How Does it Work?The heart of an evaporative cooling system is the pad where the water evaporates and the air passing through the pads is cooled. A special water distribution system spreads water over the surface of the pad, ensuring a uniform supply of water to keep the entire air contact surface thoroughly wetted. Fans create a negative pressure, causing air to be drawn through the pads. Evaporation results from contact between air and water. A control system operates the water pump and the fan distributes the cool air.The relative humidity is lowest in the afternoon when the temperature is at its highest. And the lower the humidity, the better the evaporative cooling effect. In other words, the cooling effect is best when you need it the most.Source: www.bajarangs.com/whyevaporativecoolers.html
Because the Width and Depth both increase downstream. This means the wetted perimeter will also increase.
The greater the wetted perimeter, the more friction the water encounters with the bed and sides. This reduces the speed of the river.
Cellulose acetate is easily wetted.

Wetted width is a term used in fluvial geomorphology. It is the width of a stream at the time of the field measurements indicating the width of the current flow and is generally below bankful width.
Hydraulic Mean Radius = Cross sectional area of conduit divided by the inside (wetted) perimeter.

If you wet it with hot water like washing it it could shrink.
No, it increases as there is more water in the channel.
