As almost all energy generation processes require significant amounts of water, and water requires energy for treatment and transport, these two resources are inextricably linked. This relationship is the energy-water nexus. Section one of this paper examines the existing models, literature, and management frameworks on the nexus, as it seeks to determine what gaps exist. Section two describes the water demands of power generation in order to identify potential areas of future uncertainty and delineate areas where integrated energy-water management may improve the reliability of operating power plants and the viability of schemes. Finally, section three describes possible solutions that may alleviate challenges resulting from the link between energy and water by improving energy efficiency and integrating water resources management into energy planning.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO ELECTRICITYAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAIR EMISSIONSAIR POLLUTIONAIR TEMPERATURESALTERNATIVE TECHNOLOGIESAMBIENT CONDITIONSANAEROBIC DIGESTIONAPPROACHAQUATIC ECOSYSTEMSAQUATIC LIFEARID AREASAVAILABILITYAVAILABILITY OF WATERAVAILABLE WATERAVAILABLE WATER RESOURCESBALANCEBASINSBIOMASSBOILERBRACKISH WATERBROAD RANGECARBON CAPTURECARBON DIOXIDECLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE IMPACTSCLIMATE VARIABILITYCOALCOAL PLANTCOAL POWER PLANTSCOAL WASHINGCOAL-FIRED POWERCOGENERATIONCOMBUSTIONCOMPETITION FOR WATERCONTAMINANTSCONVENTIONAL ENERGYCONVENTIONAL OILCONVENTIONAL POWER PLANTSCOOLING SYSTEMSCOOLING TOWERCOOLING TOWERSCOOLING WATERCROP PRODUCTIONCYCLE POWER PLANTSDECISION MAKERSDEMAND FOR ELECTRICITYDEMAND FOR ENERGYDEMAND FOR HEATDEMAND FOR WATERDESALINATIONDISSOLVED OXYGENDISTRICT HEATINGDRINKING WATERDROUGHTDRY COOLINGELECTRIC ENERGYELECTRIC GENERATORELECTRIC POWERELECTRIC POWER GENERATIONELECTRIC POWER PLANTSELECTRICAL GENERATIONELECTRICITY CAPACITYELECTRICITY DEMANDELECTRICITY GENERATIONELECTRICITY GENERATION TECHNOLOGIESEMPLOYMENTENERGY ALTERNATIVESENERGY CONSUMPTIONENERGY DEMANDENERGY DEVELOPMENTENERGY GENERATIONENERGY INPUTENERGY MANAGEMENTENERGY MIXENERGY NEEDSENERGY OUTLOOKENERGY OUTPUTENERGY PLANNERSENERGY PLANNINGENERGY POLICIESENERGY REQUIREMENTSENERGY RESOURCESENERGY SAVINGSENERGY SHORTAGESENERGY SOURCESENERGY SUPPLYENERGY SYSTEMSENERGY USEENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONEVAPORATIONFEEDSTOCKFLUE GASFLUE GAS DESULFURIZATIONFOOD PRODUCTIONFOOD SECURITYFOSSILFOSSIL ENERGYFOSSIL FUELFOSSIL FUEL POWERFOSSIL FUEL POWER PLANTSFRESHWATER AVAILABILITYFRESHWATER RESOURCESFRESHWATER SUPPLYFUELFUEL EXTRACTIONFUELSGASGAS EXTRACTIONGAS TURBINESGENERATIONGEOTHERMAL ENERGYGLOBAL WARMINGGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGROUNDWATERGROUNDWATER SOURCESHEATHEAT DEMANDHEAT EXCHANGERHEAT GENERATIONHEAT INPUTHEAT PRODUCTIONHEAT SOURCEHEAT TRANSFERHOT WATERHYDROLOGICAL CYCLEHYDROPOWERHYDROPOWER CAPACITYHYDROPOWER GENERATIONHYDROPOWER POTENTIALHYDROPOWER PROJECTIMPROVING ENERGY EFFICIENCYINDUSTRIAL OPERATIONSINDUSTRIAL USESIRRIGATION AGRICULTURELAND USEMANAGEMENT OF WATERMERCURYMETHANEMUNICIPAL WATERNATURAL GASNATURAL RESOURCESNITROGENNITROGEN OXIDESNUCLEAR ENERGYNUCLEAR POWERNUCLEAR POWER PLANTOIL EQUIVALENTOXYGENPEAK LOADSPILOT PROJECTSPLANT EFFICIENCYPLANT OPERATIONSPOLLUTANTSPOLLUTION CONTROLPOTABLE WATERPOWERPOWER DEMANDPOWER GENERATIONPOWER PLANT FLUEPOWER PLANT OPERATORSPOWER PLANTSPOWER SECTORPOWER STATIONPOWER SYSTEMPOWER_ PLANTPRIMARY ENERGYPRIMARY ENERGY PRODUCTIONPUMPINGQUANTITIES OF WATERRECYCLINGRENEWABLE ENERGYRENEWABLE GENERATIONRIVER BASINRIVERSSCARCE WATERSCARCE WATER RESOURCESSEAWATERSOLAR ENERGYSOLAR THERMALSOURCE OF ENERGYSPACE HEATINGSTEAM CYCLESTEAM ENERGYSTEAM GENERATIONSTEAM HEATSTEAM TURBINESULFURSURFACE RUNOFFSURFACE WATERTHERMAL CAPACITYTHERMAL PLANTTHERMAL PLANTSTHERMAL POLLUTIONTHERMAL POWERTHERMAL POWER GENERATIONTHERMAL POWER PLANTTHERMAL POWER PLANTSTOXIC CHEMICALSTURBINETURBINESURBAN WATERURBAN WATER SUPPLYUTILITIESWASTEWATERWASTEWATER TREATMENTWATER ALLOCATIONWATER AVAILABILITYWATER CONSUMPTIONWATER DEMANDWATER INFRASTRUCTUREWATER INVESTMENTSWATER MANAGEMENTWATER POLICIESWATER QUALITYWATER SCARCITYWATER SECTORWATER SECTOR DEVELOPMENTWATER SERVICESWATER SHORTAGESWATER SUPPLYWATER USEWATER USESWATER WITHDRAWALSWET COOLINGWINDWorld Bank10.1596/16536
