Description The Joint Group of Experts on the Scientific Aspects of
Marine Pollution (GESAMP) defines marine pollution as "the introduction
by man , directly or indirectly of substance or energy
into the marine environment including estuaries which results in
such deleterious effects as harm to living resources, hazards to
human health, hindrance to marine activities including fishing,
impairment of quality for use of seawater and reduction of amenities"
(GESAMP, 1984).
Thermal heat) is one of the seven major categories of
environental pollutant . Thermal pollution is any
change in natural water temperature that adversely affects
the aquatic environ.ent ". Thermal power plants may contribute significantly
towards economic growth but they may bring associated ills of
environmental pollution. The largest Single industrial use of
water is for cooling purposes (Cairns, 1956) and vast quantities
of water heated in this way are discharged into natural bodies of
water.
The main sources of thermal effluents from thermal power
stations are; cooling water, waste water from water treatment
plants and condenser cleaners, waste water contaminated with
petroleum products such as oil and grease, water from hydraulic
ash disposal system and water collected inside the territory of
the power stations (Sarin, 1988). Thermal pollution due to cooling
water, waste water and fly ash slurry discharges are bound to
have detrimental effects on the hydrography of the receiving
waters .
