Can we quench energy’s thirst in a water-smart way?
Understanding the interdependent relationship between water and energy and how they work together — the water-energy nexus — is critical to building more resilient and sustainable energy systems. Using South #Africa as a case study, a new report takes a look at energy planning at the country level, exploring how water-scarce countries can develop water-smart energy models — with the support of the World Bank’s #ThirstyEnergy Initiative.

Thirsty Energy: Water-Smart Energy Planning in South Africa
Energy-generation processes require large amounts of water; few energy-planning tools account for this need. The Thirsty Energy Initiative is helping South Africa to incorporate water constraints into its energy planning model & ensure sustainable energy planning.
