| Description | Thermoelectric power plants generate electricity and flue gas scrubbers mitigate emissions from the plants. However, at the same time, these plants withdraw large quantities of water from the watershed. In the United States, this withdrawal corresponds to 45% of the total 2010 water use (Maupin et al., 2014). In addition, $NO_{X}$ emissions from the scrubbers cause deposition of excessive nutrients in the watershed. Therefore, increasing electricity generation could increase water stress, deteriorate water quality, and contribute to climate change. Also, in the watershed where power plants are located, other activities, such as farming, interact with the power plants since these activities also require water from the watershed as well as energy from the power plants and release nutrients to the watershed. To prevent shifting of environmental impacts across multiple flows (Bakshi et al., 2018), the energy-water nexus between different activities in the watershed needs to be understood in assessing the impacts of power plants and sustainability of the watershed (Sanders, 2014).
