Abstract
Water availability and usage is an important concern for the energy sector. In some cases, the dependence on water for thermal electric power plant cooling has been a vulnerability and has led to power plants curtailing generation (e.g. Brown's Ferry nuclear power plant in the summer of 2007, among others). Solar power technologies also require water to varying degrees throughout their life cycle.
