The electric power industry is by far the greatest user of cooling water, withdrawing more than 78 trillion gallons per year from U.S. waters • Needless KillingBut none of these facilities actually need to kill fish, use surface water or even be located on the waterfront. • Recycling used cooling water in a closed-cycle system. • cooling towers — using the high-efficiency of evaporation to cool their equipment. • water demands are vastly reduced, by 95 percent or more, • can be met with municipal water, groundwater or effluent from wastewater treatment plants, • can be air cooled with giant radiators known as dry cooling towers, removing altogether their need for cooling water
