Title Part 2: Power Industry is Important Water Market
Authors Mike Henley
Abstract Electricity powers our modern world—whether it is our homes, workplaces, or the cities and towns we live. And, water plays a key role in nearly all forms of power generation—hydroelectric, cogeneration, geothermal, fossil-fuel plants, and nuclear stations. Treated water is even important in the manufacture of panels used in solar power. And, for all but hydroelectric facilities, it is necessary to treat nearly all the water used in power generation. In this second of a series of articles examining different aspects of the water business, we will examine the power generation business and the water markets found in this important business segment.
