Answer: Thermoelectric power

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2015 the total amount of water was approximately 322 billions per day. The thermoelectric power used almost (133 Bgal/d) which accounts to be the largest water withdrawals.

The water in the thermoelectric power plant is used to cool down the machine which is used in various types of the industrial setup and factories.

The stem that is released by the heavy machines is also cooled down by using the water. It is also used for another process because U.S has colder climates which increases the hot water consumption.
