| Summary: | Population growth and economic
development, aggravated by climate change, will increase
pressure on energy and water resources. Integrated planning
can make the most of these two essential and scarce
resources. Thirsty Energy, a World Bank initiative, helps
countries address these issues and ensure sustainable
development of both resources. This note focuses on the
water needs of the power sector and particularly answers the
following questions: Why is this issue important? Do power
plants need all that much water? What about other types of
plants? What are the challenges? and, What are our options? |
