Abstract:Analyses of the relationship between water and energy do not account for the fact that the energy used in the urban water cycle is a consumer of water.

The main contribution of this research is the proposal of an index that measures how much raw water is consumed by the energy used to produce 1 cubic m of water. The resulting index is a decision-making too… Show more
