“…Also, the number of water-related targets increased in the 12 th and 13 th FYPs, including increasing the water efficiency of the industrial sector. Finally, the cap on total coal consumption stipulated in the 13 th FYP for Energy Development is a key way to address combined energy and water issues through energy sector management alone (Shang, Hei, et al, 2016).…”

“…In the USA, the Energy and Water Research Integration Act of 2011 was formulated (but was not enacted) to draw policy attention to integrate water considerations into energyrelated research [7]. South Africa, Morocco, Mexico and China [8] are also working on incorporating water constraints into their energy plans [9]. However, most of the studies have been based on energy systems (e.g., because of the relative priority and importance of the impacts of energy production and usage) [10].…”

Water-energy nexus for urban water systems: A comparative review on energy intensity and environmental impacts in relation to global water risks

• This study quantifies the nexus as energy intensity and greenhouse gas potential.• Baseline water stress and return flow ratio are identified as water risks.• Source water accessibility significantly contributes to variations in the nexus.• Water risks have little impact on the nexus of wastewater systems.• Study on the nexus is suggested to be conducted at regional levels. A R T I C L E I N F O A B S T R A C TThe importance of the interdependence between water and energy, also known as the water-energy nexus, is well recognized. The water-energy nexus is typically characterized in resource use efficiency terms such as energy intensity. This study aims to explore the quantitative results of the nexus in terms of energy intensity and environmental impacts (mainly greenhouse gas emissions) on existing water systems within urban water cycles. We also characterized the influence of water risks on the water-energy nexus, including baseline water stress (a water quantity indicator) and return flow ratio (a water quality indicator). For the 20 regions and 4 countries surveyed (including regions with low to extremely high water risks that are geographically located in Africa, Australia, Asia, Europe, and North America), their energy intensities were positively related to the water risks. Regions with higher water risks were observed to have relatively higher energy and GHG intensities associated with their water supply systems. This mainly reflected the major influence of source water accessibility on the nexus, particularly for regions requiring energy-intensive imported or groundwater supplies, or desalination. Regions that use tertiary treatment (for water reclamation or environmental protection) for their wastewater treatment systems also had relatively higher energy and GHG emission intensities, but the intensities seemed to be independent from the water risks. On-site energy recovery (e.g., biogas or waste heat) in the wastewater treatment systems offered a great opportunity for reducing overall energy demand and its associated environmental impacts. Future policy making for the water and energy sectors should carefully consider the waterenergy nexus at the regional or local level to achieve maximum environmental and economic benefits. The results from this study can provide a better understanding of the water-energy nexus and informative recommendations for future policy directions for the effective management of water and energy.

“…This will be accomplished by phasing out industry techniques with an actual water use per unit product that exceeds the water quota. This policy comprises physical, economic, and regulatory dimensions and has a great social-economic impact (Shang et al 2018). In December 2018, China further revised and consolidated the appraisal indicator system of clean production for 14 sectors (Low 2019).…”

Energy nexus in synergy to SDGs; Sustainable energy supply Definition Energy nexus is a system-of-systems composed of one infrastructure system with the artifacts necessary to describe a full energy value chain and another infrastructure system with the artifacts necessary to describe a full value chain of another system. For example, energy and land nexus: The Energy nexus is a system-of-systems composed of energy infrastructure system with the artifacts necessary to describe a full energy value chain and land infrastructure system with the artifacts necessary to describe a full land value chain. Similarly, we can define the energy nexus with water, food, agriculture, etc., even the renewable and nonrenewable energy nexus.
