Question

Suggest any three measures to reduce thermal pollution.

Answer 1

Three strategies for reducing thermal pollution can be implemented. To begin, constructing cooling towers or ponds can dissipate heat before water is released, as is done in current European power plants. Second, using closed-loop cooling systems, which recycle water within the plant, can reduce external discharge, a strategy that is gaining popularity in India’s industrial sector. Third, limiting discharge temperatures by environmental standards and regular audits by pollution control authorities helps ensure compliance, so conserving aquatic habitats.
