How do you cool a nuclear reactor without water?

The Palo Verde Generating Station is a nuclear power plant located near Tonopah, in western Arizona. It is located about 72 km due west of downtown Phoenix, Arizona, and it is located near the Gila River, which is dry save for the rainy season in late summer.

The power plant evaporates the water from the treated sewage from several nearby cities and towns to provide the cooling of the steam that it produces.
