Cooling towers in the United States are subject to regulations under the Clean Water Act for water discharge and the Clean Air Act for emissions. Water consumption is a key environmental consideration, especially in regions like Georgia where water resources are managed. The use of evaporative cooling can lead to significant water loss, and facilities must implement water treatment to prevent scale and biological growth. Refrigerant use in associated chillers is regulated under the EPA's SNAP program to minimize global-warming potential.
