The following measures can be taken to prevent or control high temperature caused by thermal pollution:
1. Heated water from the industries can treated before discharging directly to the water bodies.
2. Heated water from the industries can be treated by the installation of cooling ponds and cooling towers.
3. Industrial treated water can be recycled for domestic use or industrial heating.
4. Through artificial lakes: In this lake Industries can discharge their used or heated water at one end and water for cooling purposes may be withdrawn from the other end. The heat is eventually dissipated through evaporation.
