Energy

  • Productivity and Efficiency

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, present day water and energy systems are interdependent. Water is used in all phases of energy production and electricity generation. Energy is required to extract, convey, and deliver water of appropriate quality for diverse human uses, and then again to treat wastewater prior to their return to the environment. Resources available in this sub-theme include reviews of diverse technologies and information on alternative energy sources such as biogas and solar, as well as other energy and water resources.

Saving Water and Energy Together: Helping Utilities Build Better Programs

Published: 
October 1, 2013
Alliance for Water Efficiency
Water and energy are inherently linked, intersecting at both the supply side (electric generation and water/wastewater facilities) and the end-use side (residential, commericial, industrial, and agriculture sectors). This intersection is commonly called the "energy-water nexus." On the...Read more

Tackling the Nexus: Exemplary Programs that Save Both Energy and Water

Published: 
January 1, 2013
Alliance for Water Efficiency
Energy and water have an inherent relationship. Energy is needed to transport, treat, heat, cool, and recycle water and, conversely, water is needed in energy production. As a result, saving water saves energy and saving energy saves water. This intersection and interaction between energy and water...Read more
