Energy in the water sector - Summary and recommendation of the 12th assembly of the energy forum at SNI

Gershon Grossman, Ofira Ayalon, Tal Goldrath, 2009

The water sector is a very large consumer of energy in its various forms, mainly electricity. Energy is used for water pumping, transfer and supply. Energy is also essential for water "production" as in sea water desalination, and for wastewater treatment, to be later used for irrigation or river flows.
The current forum discussed two main issues regarding the correlation between water and energy – desalination and pumping and transfer.
