Most of the water used by nuclear is used to run the heat exchangers, and gets dumped straight back into the river it's drawn from. This looks like it's the source you're quoting [1]. It's pretty clear that nuclear power is a tiny fraction of water usage [2]. Furthermore, in water-constrained areas nuclear plants can be cooled with wastewater [3]. And lastly, plenty of nuclear plants are cooled with ocean water, which obviously has zero shortage. The notion that nuclear power is going to significant affect water supplies is without merit. 1. http://large.stanford.edu/courses/2017/ph241/styles2/#:~:text=As%20of%202015%2C%20nuclear%20energy,plant%20electricity%20generation%20in%202015 http://large.stanford.edu/courses/2017/ph241/styles2/#:~:tex.... 2. http://large.stanford.edu/courses/2017/ph241/styles2/images/f1big.png http://large.stanford.edu/courses/2017/ph241/styles2/images/... 3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palo_Verde_Nuclear_Generating_Station https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palo_Verde_Nuclear_Generating_...
