Abstract
Energy and water resources are closely related, especially in urban environments. The urban water cycle requires energy for disinfection and distribution of drinking water, end-use water heating, and treatment of wastewater. Similarly, providing energy for urban environments requires water for thermoelectric power plant cooling and extracting, processing, and refining conventional and unconventional liquid fuels. This work explores the urban energy-water nexus at both the city scale and within the residential household. Results are pertinent for advancing toward the goal of water and energy sustainability via large-scale benchmarking and small-scale investments.
