Water and energy are inextricably linked as unsound management of
either resource can have an impact on the cost, availability, and
sustainability of the other. This book explores the "energy for
water" component of the water-energy nexus. It offers diverse case
studies from around the world including the deserts of Saudi
Arabia, rural China, Pakistan's Indus Basin, arid Greek islands,
and urban centers such as Los Angeles. The analyses show that while
many regions face unique water scarcity challenges, they are all
united by the fact that solutions require mobilizing energy. This
book focuses on how different policies and technologies are
changing the way societies use energy to extract, treat, and
transport water. In terms of policy, chapters explore how
initiatives aimed at reducing demand for water and improved
integrated resource planning can lead to energy savings. Regarding
technology, case studies highlight the pros and cons of different
methods of meeting water demand. Through exploring both technology
and policy across a wide range of diverse case studies, the book
offers a robust explanation of the "energy for water" side of the
water-energy nexus equation, making it valuable reading for
academics and policymakers. This book was originally published as a
special issue as International Journal of Water Resources
Development.
