The contradiction of water resource shortage is increasingly prominent in the process of electric power production. In order to fully understand the implementation of water-saving strategy in a power plant, this paper takes a coal-fired power plant as an example to analyze and evaluate the water-saving effect of “zero discharge” of waste water in the whole plant through the water balance test. The results show that the coal-fired power plant not only protects the water environment, but also saves about 38 % of the cost of production water by implementing special water modification such as “zero discharge” of waste water in the whole plant.
