The term, “life cycle water use of energy production” refers to the direct use (i.e. by energy sectors) and indirect use (i.e. by other sectors).

Summarize the paper while answering the questions below:

Explain the linkage between energy and water resources.
Describe the difference between water withdrawal and consumption.
Which energy sectors (e.g. coal, crude oil, natural gas) show the highest water withdrawals, water consumption, and wastewater discharge in China (overall energy production NOT water use per unit energy products)?
Which city has the highest water withdrawal for electricity productions? Why?
Based on the findings for the spatial distribution of water use and energy production, pick a region and make a recommendation(s) for the region, so the region can keep meeting the same energy demand while reducing water withdrawal and/or consumption. Explain why you chose the recommendation(s).
