A water-powered factory did not create pollution and could only operate near water, but a steam-powered factory did create pollution and could operate anywhere on land
Factories were powered by Steam and smoke which ruined the population from polution....then they were powered by Water which had no polution.

Water-powered factories relied on flowing water to generate mechanical energy, typically using water wheels, which limited their locations to areas near rivers or waterfalls. In contrast, steam-powered factories utilized steam engines that could be fueled by coal, allowing them to be situated anywhere, regardless of water access. This flexibility in location contributed to the rapid industrialization of urban areas and enabled factories to operate continuously, unlike water-powered systems that depended on water availability. Additionally, steam power supported larger-scale production and more complex machinery than most water-powered systems could accommodate.
Some advantages steam-powered machinery had over water-powered machinery was quicker production processes, enhanced distribution, and allowed factories to be located away from water sources.
