Abstract:
The fast growing demand for fresh water-coupled with the need to protect the environment has made
many areas of India and the rest of the World vulnerable to water shortages for various uses of the
economy. As they interact with Electricity Industry, water availability is critical to power generation.
With out access to adequate amounts of water for steam generation and cooling, power plants that rely
on heat energy to generate electricity cannot operate. Seasonal anomalies in water systems and
electricity production are inextricably linked. A change in one of these systems induces a change in the
other. Therefore, there is an imperative need to better understand the interrelationship of Electric
Energy- water for effective management of serious water related power generation issues. This paper
gauges the effects of the some of overlaps and gaps between seasonal anomalies in water availability
and growth of power generation in rainy, summer, winter and post monsoon season for power plants
of different energy types (Both non-renewable and renewable sources)
