It takes a significant amount of water to create energy. Like, water is used to cool steam electric power plants and is required to generate hydropower.  Water is also used in great quantities during fuel extraction, refining and production. At the same time, it takes a significant amount of energy to treat and move water. Energy is used to extract, move and treat water for drinking and irrigation. It is used in the collection, treatment and disposal of wastewater. Energy is also consumed when water is used by households and industry, especially through heating and cooling. I guess there is a close nexus in energy and water.
