Water consumption is a very different case; back to the river it came from. There are large from 2009 to 2035 it is projected to increase by 20 withdrawals, but the only consumption is due to the percent, because there may be more solar thermal elevated temperature after the water is put back into and geothermal power plants, with high consumptive the river.
