Combining dry condenser cooling with evaporative cooling in separate towers instead of a single wet/dry unit is said to save substantial amounts of water and possibly improve tower reliability. Data are presented on total cooling system costs and makeup water requirements for dry and wet-peaking tower systems. (DG)
