Guidelines for Discharge Point in Thermal Power Plants in India
- The discharge point shall preferably be located at the bottom of water bodies at mid-stream for proper dispersion of thermal discharge.
- In case of discharge of cooling water into sea, proper marine outfall shall be designed to achieve the prescribed standards. The point of discharge may be selected in consultation with the Concerned State Authorities.
- No cooling water discharge shall be permitted in estuaries or near ecologically sensitive areas such as mangroves, coral reefs, spawning & breeding grounds of aquatic flora or fauna.
