<u>Answer:</u>

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

<u>Explanation: </u>

  • 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.
