Energy and water have been fundamental to powering the global
economy and building modern society. This cross-disciplinary book
provides an integrated assessment of the different scientific and
policy tools around the energy-water nexus. It focuses on how water
use, and wastewater and waste solids produced from fossil fuel
energy production affect water quality and quantity. Summarizing
cutting edge research, it describes the scientific methods for
detecting contamination sources in the context of policy and
regulations. The authors highlight the growing evidence that fossil
fuel production, from both conventional and unconventional sources,
leads to water quality degradation, while regulations for the water
and energy sector remain fractured and highly variable across and
within countries. This volume will be a key reference for scholars,
industry professionals, environmental consultants and policy makers
seeking information on the risks associated with the energy cycle
and its impact on the environment, particularly water resources.
