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:

Postcolonial theories meet energy studies: “Institutional orientalism” as a barrier for renewable electricity trade in the Mediterranean region
Luiz Enrique Vieira de Souza,Estevão Bosco,Alina Mikhailovna Gilmanova Cavalcante,Leila da Costa Ferreira +3 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the concepts and theories developed by postcolonialist scholars to criticize the cultural and epistemological relations of power between Europe and its former colonies can be expanded to analyse the failure of international energy cooperation projects such as the Mediterranean Solar Plan (MSP) and Desertec.

Freshwater for Cooling Needs: A Long-Run Approach to the Nuclear Water Footprint in Spain
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors calculate a first approximation to the Spanish nuclear water footprint from 1969 to 2014, showing that while water consumed by Spanish nuclear power plants are around 3 m3 per capita/year, water withdrawals per capita /year are around 70 m3.
