Water Impact
Daily water use (estimated range)
324K – 468K gal/day
Water returned per day
None reported
Per Estimated from 36 MW using LBNL benchmark 9,000–13,000 gal/day/MW, based on MW benchmark at WUE 1.8–2.5 L/kWh, 80% utilization
vs. 5M gal/day (typical 400 MW facility)
The higher estimate is equivalent to the daily water use of approximately 4,680 households. San Marcos has approximately 25,000 households.
