Quantifying the impact of water availability on China's energy system under uncertainties: A perceptive of energy-water nexus

Energy and water are interdependent and interwoven, forming energy-water nexus. The chronic of water shortage in China can make a negative impact on energy system and further hinder the socioeconomic sustainable development. The coal-dominated energy structure consumes a large amount of water, which further intensities the dilemma between increasing energy demand and shrinking water resources. In this study, a China's non-deterministic …
