From what I learned the problem is they don't put it back in the river, it's just in the coolant systems and stays there. And they won't disclose how much they are actually using.
Well it has to go somewhere, you can’t just take in water forever with nowhere for it to go. So either it’s non-potable water being returned to its source, or it’s closed loop. In either case, it’s not really a problem.
There are two types of cooling systems: Closed Loop and Once Through.
This response consumed 16 oz of water but I am not sure in which manner.
