Hi, I'm looking into the use of satellite based and in-situ sensors to assess the effects of climate change on environmental impacts associated with power station cooling water abstraction and discharge. Scenarios where environmental impacts may be currently minimal, may change in time with reducing water availability. Impacts may reach the stage where they could impact on the operation of power stations.
To assist in the study, I'm looking for interested stakeholders in this region. This could range from a power generation company to an environmental regulator, to anyone in between. Essentially anyone who may have a vested interest in availability of water for abstraction for the power generation industry, through to the environmental impacts of discharges. Do post a comment with your suggestions & queries!
