Abstract : This paper employs a long panel data set of few selected Indian thermal power plants by fuel type that are
thermal based for the time period 2000-2001 to 2008-2009 to test certain hypotheses regarding thermal power plants
performance with respect to water withdrawals vis-a-vis power generation relative to normal seasonal variation. The study
finds strong robust evidence in support of water shortage owing to the impact of changing climate. It forecasts the trend
equations for water withdrawals and loss of electric generation for the succeeding time period of 2009-2013.The study
suggests the imperative need of technological breakthroughs as an effective solution to counteract against the odds of
climatic anomalies. Keeping in view of resource inefficiency i.e in terms of water utilization, this paper suggests pertinent
sustainable developmental management strategies as a policy recommendation to abridge the water gap in arid regions of
selected thermal power plants.
