Cooling towers on power stations - why?

Hi All


I was working on a power station in Oman last month and it was gas fired with condensing steam turbines - no evaporation.  This week I'm working on a coal fired one in Poland, which has cooling towers and evaporation.  Is it something to do with the gas or just that they have no water in Oman?


Thanks

    Or use cooling towers for community heating systems for homes, sports centres, pre-heating water for domestic and commercial use, etc, instead of venting valuable steam into the air as 'cloud factories' as my children used to call them?
