Efficiently managing the energy-water nexus is paramount for sustainability. Policies and technologies that optimize the use of both resources can lead to better environmental and economic outcomes. Shifting to renewable energy sources like wind and solar can reduce the water intensity of energy production. Advances in water treatment and desalination technologies are aiming to reduce their energy consumption, making the processes more sustainable. Understanding and managing the interdependencies between energy and water is essential for ensuring the sustainability of both resources, especially in the face of increasing demand, environmental challenges, and the transition from carbon-based systems.
