CSP has a number of environmental impacts, particularly by the use of water and land. Water is generally used for cooling and to clean mirrors. Some projects are looking into various approaches to reduce the water and cleaning agents used, including the use of barriers, non-stick coatings on mirrors, water misting systems, and others. Concentrating solar power plants with wet-cooling systems have the highest water-c
