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:

Assessing the Energy Consumption Efficiency, Irrigation Application Uniformity and Life Cycle Assessment of Groundwater-Based Irrigation Systems in Oklahoma
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the overall pumping efficiency of two pumping plants and compared against two widely used standards: The Nebraska Pumping Plant Performance Criteria (NPPPC) (Krantz, 2010) and the efficiency classification developed by the Center for Irrigation Technology (CIT) at California State University-Fresno.

Development, water and energy in the context of climate change in North Africa
Stéphane Quéfélec,Samir Allal +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a holistic approach was adopted to explore and quantify interactions between water and energy in the context of climate change in North Africa. But the authors did not consider virtual water as an additional option to reduce the local water demand.
