2. Hot water from coolants r dumped in factories.
3. thermal power stations drain hot water in water bodies.

Consequesnce:
1. Aquatic life is disturbed
2. Eutrophicationi.e growing of algae happens

Thermal pollution occurs when hot ,contaminated water is released into nearest water bodies.

REASONS

1) Industries discharge hot water loaded by toxic chemicals into water bodies.
2) Water that is used as coolants is discharged after use, this water has quite a high temperature than the temperature of water bodies.
3) Water from nuclear power plants that also contain radioactive wastes.

CONSEQUENCES

1) Aquatic life is affected. Aquatic organisms die due to lack of oxygen.
2) Humans also get affected if they consume the thermally polluted water.It may result in many chronic diseases also resulting in death.
3) The radioactive wastes can cause cancer to humans
