What does hydrogeology have to do with solar power? Quite a lot. For instance, according to the U.S. DOE, U.S., a coal fired plant uses 110 to 300 gallons per megawatt hour; a nuclear plant uses between 500 and 1100 gallons/MWh; and a solar parabolic trough plant uses 760 -920 gallons/MWh. Clearly there are strong environmental benefits to solar power, but those come at a very high water cost, commonly in the arid west.
