Afreen Siddiqi,Laura Diaz Anadon +1 more
TLDR
In this paper, a country-level quantitative assessment of the water-energy nexus in the MENA region is performed, and the results show that up to 9% of the total annual electrical energy consumption may be attributed to ground water pumping and desalination.About:

Energy consumption for crop irrigation in a semiarid climate (south-eastern Spain)
M. Soto-García,Bernardo Martin-Gorriz,P.A. García-Bastida,Francisco Alcon,Victoriano Martínez-Alvarez +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the water-energy nexus in irrigation districts (IDs) under the semi-arid conditions of south-eastern Spain, and selected performance indicators to characterise water and energy relationships at three management levels: basin, irrigation district, and farm.
