It is difficult to answer this question. Since the largest water consumption in power plants is circulating cooling water, this part of the water taken from the river is not consumed, but is discharged into the river. The other part of household firefighting water is no different from ordinary businesses. Then there is the desalinated water used in the boilers. This part of the water from power plants that do not provide heat is recycled and the amount replenished is very small. The heating plant make-up water is related to the steam supply volume and condensate recovery rate. Therefore, power plants generally only count and evaluate water consumption related to production indicators, such as boiler feedwater flow, condensate recovery rate, etc. The statistics generally do not concernt not the huge amounts of circulating cooling water. Therefore, it has no practical meaning for power plants to calculate water consumption and water savings.

Introduction How power plants calculate annual water savings is a difficult question to answer. Since the largest water consumption in power plants is circulating cooling water, this part of the water taken from rivers is not consumed but reused.
