Optimizing the energy and water conservation synergy in China: 2007–2012
TL;DR: In this paper, three major energy sectors were selected for the assessment and optimization of the synergy between energy and water conservation. And the results of the critical paths showed that during the energy generation process, the chemical industry, the smelting and pressing of metals, and the mining and processing of nonmetal ores are coupling sectors, which use a combination of large amounts of energy and Water resources.
