Session 2: Perspectives on Energy and Water.
Session Chair:   Professor Basil SHARP
 
Distributing, treating and using water require substantial amounts of energy; similarly, producing energy takes substantial amounts of water. The two sectors should explore the possibility to assess the “water footprint” on energy and the “energy footprint” on water, including in terms of quality.
