Department of Energy/National Energy Technology Laboratory’s Power Plant-Water R&D Program
DOE/NETL’s Innovations for Existing Plants (IEP) Program is conducting research in four areas related to the use of water by power plants: 1) non-traditional sources of process and cooling water; 2) innovative water reuse and recovery; 3) advanced cooling technology; and 4) advanced water treatment and detection technology. Of particular note, the article discusses the reuse of water from municipal WWTPs and contains data regarding overall power sector water consumption in the US.

Use of Reclaimed Water for Power Plant Cooling
This report from August 2007 discusses the use of treated municipal wastewater as cooling water make-up for a power plant. The report also includes a database of over 50 power plants using reclaimed water, including the source, volume and characteristics of the water.
