Water is the cheapest source of power. A hydro-electric power plant is aimed at harnessing from water flowing under pressure. In hydroelectric power plants, the energy of water are utilized to drive the turbine hydro or waterpower is important only next to the thermal power. Hydroelectric power was initiated in India in 1897 near Darjeeling.

In cooling towers, the warm water is discharged from the condenser and fed the cooled water back to the condenser. The rate of evaporation of water in cooling tower and subsequent reduction in water temperature depend upon the following parameters. The exposive time. Amount of water surface exposed. Relative humidity of air. Velocity of air
