The construction of the energy plant will likely pollute the water flowing in front of it on the riverbank.
The fact that the energy plant will use the water from the river for cooling means that the water will be exposed to thermal pollution. The increase in the temperature of the water will cause less dissolution of oxygen in the water.
As dissolved oxygen levels drop, the aquatic organisms in the river will become negatively affected due to the resulting oxygen stress and they may begin to die.
