Abstract: In recent years, China has promulgated and amended multiple laws and policies regarding the severe situation of water shortages. In particular, higher requirements are proposed for the water resource management in the aspect of the water saving of thermal power industry. In order to improve the water-saving work of thermal power industry, this paper summarizes the relevant legal requirements and analyzes the current situation of water utilization and major water saving measures of thermal power industry, investigates and compares the water consumption level of different types of generation units, and generalizes the main problems of the water saving in thermal power industry. At last, according to the requirements of “The 13th Five-Year Plan”, the paper puts forward countermeasures and suggestions for the water saving work of thermal power industry which will provide beneficial reference for promulgating related policies on water saving.

Key words: thermal power, water saving, water utilization, wastewater discharge, water management
