The water sector is a very large consumer of energy in its various forms, mainly electricity. Energy is used for water pumping, transfer and supply. Energy is also essential for water “production” as in sea water desalination, and for wastewater treatment, to be later used for irrigation or river flows.
The current forum discussed two main issues regarding the correlation between water and energy desalination and pumping and transfer.
