The Water x Energy Nexus
The Water x Energy Nexus: Shaping a Sustainable Future
The Interdependence Between Water and Energy
- Water for Energy: Energy production, such as cooling in power plants, hydropower generation, and biofuel production, requires large quantities of water.
- Energy for Water: The movement, treatment, and distribution of water require significant energy, accounting for as much as 10% of the energy grid in the U.S.

Water conveyance refers to the transportation of water from its source to the place of its use, such as households, agricultural fields, or industrial facilities. The energy used for water conveyance varies depending on the distance, elevation, and volume of water being transported (with the majority of energy being used for pumping).
Water treatment refers to the process of removing impurities and contaminants from water to make it safe for consumption or suitable for various uses. The energy required for water treatment can vary widely, depending on factors such as water quality, treatment method, and treatment plant efficiency.
