Correct Answer: Thermal power


Solution : The correct option is thermal power.

Water is used in thermal power plants to cool the steam that powers the turbines that create energy. Water is also used for ash disposal and other procedures. According to the Central Water Commission, the thermal power industry accounts for around 88% of overall industrial water use in India. The engineering (5.05%), pulp and paper (2.26%), and textile (2.07%) sectors are next. The government is reducing water use in the electricity industry by requiring the adoption of water-efficient cooling technology, for example.
