Defining the cost of water impact for thermoelectric power generation
Thermal power plants use large amounts of water, mainly for cooling purposes. Over a long operational period, power-plant cooling can have a large impact on the water source: elevated temperatures of return flows alter the local physical and chemical properties of the water (i.e., quality impact), w...
