Water and energy are intricately linked. Supplying or producing clean water requires energy, and producing energy requires water. The focus of this book is on the former, i.e. determining energy demands for supplying or producing clean water. As environmental and water resources engineers or scientists, you often learn about how to convey or treat water sources, and in some cases, you are given metrics for energy consumption, but there are a few detailed sources that provide a comprehensive background for quantifying these energy demands. Developing these skills is increasingly important as demands for decreasing energy use and carbon emissions become more urgent and as emerging technologies with poorly characterized energy demands are being considered.
