Answer:

Nuclear power plants impact the water resources by making them inhabitable for the survival of aquatic species.

Explanation:

Nuclear power plants need huge amounts of water in order to cool the reactors down.

This water is fetched from nearby resources of freshwater resulting in an imbalance in the availability of water in the resources.

Secondly, the water that is cooled down and used to keep the reactors cold is released back in the same resources of water.

This addition of excessively cold water makes it hard for the aquatic species to sustain the drastic change in the temperature of the water.
