| Description | A professional project report submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Water Resources, Water Resources Program, University of New Mexico. Thermoelectric power generation relies on the creation of a temperature difference between the heat source and heat sink. Most often the heat sink is water which means that power generation requires significant quantities of water. Inland power plants use fresh water, a resource that is becoming increasingly limited in the United States. Thermoelectric plants currently supply nearly 90% of the US demand for electricity. By 2030 thermoelectric consumption is projected to increase by 42 to... |
