A Cooling water is Water typically used to cool heat -generating equipment or to condense gases in a thermodynamic cycle (Brown and Caldwell, 1990).

A Cooling water blowdown is Procedure used to reduce total Dissolved Solids by removing a portion of poor-quality recirculating water (Brown and Caldwell, 1990).

A Cooling water drift is Unevaporated water carried out of a Cooling Tower by the airflow; it has the same composition as the recirculating water (Brown and Caldwell, 1990).

A Cooling water evaporation is Cooling water recycling approach in which water loses Heat when a portion of it is evaporated (Brown and Caldwell, 1990).
