The 9 pages that link to Water consumption, each with the reason it gives.

• Water footprintRelated: Consumed water is a central quantity counted in blue and green footprints.

• Combined-cycle power plantRelated: Steam condensation and cooling can require substantial water, depending on plant design.

• Cooling towerRelated: Evaporation and blowdown make tower operation a significant water demand at some sites.

• Solar thermal energyRelated: Some concentrating solar plants use water for cooling and cleaning, a constraint in arid regions.

• Coal gasificationRelated: Coal gasification and downstream cooling or synthesis can demand substantial water.

• Concentrated solar powerRelated: Cooling and cleaning can make water availability a constraint for plants in sunny arid regions.

• Washing machineRelated: Washer design and cycle choice determine how much water each load uses.

• Water parkRelated: Pools, splash features, and evaporation create ongoing demand for replacement water.

• Gas-fired power plantRelated: Steam-cycle cooling can consume water, with amounts depending on cooling technology and climate.
