Title : Understanding the water-energy-carbon nexus in urban water
utilities: Comparison of four city case studies and the relevant
influencing factors
Journal : Energy
Comment : How does the urban environment influence the water-energy-carbon nexus? The authors have tried to answer this question by referring to four case studies e based on the cities of Nantes (France), Oslo (Norway), Turin (Italy) and Toronto (Canada). The authors have attempted to provide directions for process, program and policy interventions. For instance, Nantes needs to make an effort to restrict the use of herbicides and pesticides in order to improve the quality of water in the river Loire and thereby reduce the energy demand for treating raw water. Turin is a part, would do well to invest in more efficient wastewater treatment facilities, thus reducing the energy burden significantly on the upstream, while incurring a higher demand on the downstream.
