Insights of Water and Energy Nexus in India

  1. Introduction

The interconnection between water and energy is a critical yet often overlooked aspect of sustainable development. The water-energy link refers to the intricate relationship between water usage and energy production, where each is dependent on the other. Water is essential for producing energy through processes like hydroelectric power, cooling in thermal power plants, and the extraction of fossil fuels. Conversely, energy is needed for pumping, treating, and distributing water.
