The Last Straw: Water Use By Power Plants in the Arid West

Course No. C-1013

Credit: 1 PDH

Course Fee: $28.95 Purchase course

Subject Matter Expert: Adam C. Leigland, P.E., AICP

Overview

Power plants consume a large chunk of the available water supply in the arid Western United States. While the consumption is small relative to agricultural users, power plants can have a significant impact on available source water in localized areas where drought conditions exist.

This course examines the uses of water in power plants and the water use conflicts that can arise when power plants compete with other water consumers for finite amounts of available water. Technologies are examined which allow power plants to reduce water consumption. The student will study the attached document The Last Straw: Water Use by Power Plants in the Arid West* published by Western Resource Advocates.

The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of ten (10) questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.
