We claim: 1. A system for use in a ranikine cycle power plant, including a cooling tower and, at least, a low pressure steam turbine configured to output first and second steam supplies at first and second respective pressures, comprising: a first condenser configured to fluidly receive the first steam supply and tower water and to output a first water supply; a second condenser configured to fluidly receive a first portion of the second steam supply and the first water supply and to output a second water supply; and a vapor-absorption-machine (VAM) configured to fluidly receive a second portion of the second steam supply and the second water supply by which a refrigeration cycle is conducted to thereby cool at least one of the tower water and a third water supply used to cool the tower water. 2. The system according to claim 1, wherein the first pressure of the first steam supply is lower than the second pressure of the second steam supply. 3. The system according to claim 1, wherein additional steam supplies outputted from the first and second condensers are diverted to a condensate extraction pump (CEP). 4. The system according to claim 1, wherein the VAM comprises: a first heat exchanger by which the second portion of the second steam supply heats and thereby activates a refrigerant; a second heat exchanger by which the second water supply cools the activated refrigerant; a third heat exchanger by which the second water supply condenses the cooled refrigerant; and a fourth heat exchanger by which the condensed refrigerant cools the third water supply and is thereby vaporized. 5. The system according to claim 4, wherein the second portion of the second steam supply is condensed in the VAM and diverted to a condensate extraction pump (CEP). 6. The system according to claim 4, wherein the second water supply is outputted from the VAM and diverted to the cooling tower. 7. The system according to claim 1, further comprising: a tower water heat exchanger by which the third water supply cools the tower water; and a pumping system to recycle the third water supply through the tower water heat exchanger and the VAM. 8. The system according to claim 7, wherein the tower water heat exchanger comprises a plate-type heat exchanger. 9. A system for use with a rankine cycle power plant, the power plant comprising: a gas turbine which generates heat during operations thereof a steam source, coupled to the gas turbine, which generates steam from the heat generated by the gas turbine; at least high and low pressure steam turbines, each of which is configured to fluidly receive the generated steam, the low pressure steam turbine being further configured to output first and second steam supplies at first and second respective pressures; and a cooling tower, the system comprising: a first condenser configured to fluidly receive the first steam supply and tower water and to output a first water supply; a second condenser configured to fluidly receive a first portion of the second steam supply and the first water supply and to output a second water supply; and a vapor-absorption-machine (VAM) configured to fluidly receive a second portion of the second steam supply and the second water supply by which a refrigeration cycle is conducted to thereby cool at least one of the tower water and a third water supply used to cool the tower water. 10. The system according to claim 9, wherein the first pressure of the first steam supply is lower than the second pressure of the second steam supply. 11. The system according to claim 9, wherein the condensed steam supplies outputted from the first and second condensers are diverted to a condensate extraction pump. 12. The system according to claim 9, wherein the VAM comprises: a first heat exchanger by which the second portion of the second steam supply heats and thereby activates a refrigerant; a second heat exchanger by which the second water supply cools the activated refrigerant; a third heat exchanger by which the second water supply condenses the cooled refrigerant; and a fourth heat exchanger by which the condensed refrigerant cools the third water supply and is thereby vaporized. 13. The system according to claim 12, wherein the second portion of the second steam supply is condensed in the VAM and diverted to a condensate extraction pump (CEP). 14. The system according to claim 12, wherein the second water supply is outputted from the VAM and diverted to the cooling tower. 15. The system according to claim 9, further comprising: a tower water heat exchanger by which the third water supply cools the tower water; and a pumping system to recycle the third water supply through the tower water heat exchanger and the VAM. 16. The system according to claim 15, wherein the tower water heat exchanger comprises a plate-type heat exchanger.
