The inversely-related interdependency between energy and the environment is more visible in water resources management since water is a central component of both the ecological system and hydropower production systems. In fact, increases in the use of energy and water resources tend to result in the intensification of environmental problems. The adoption of more effective environmental protection policies requires a reduction in energy production and consumption, and this inverse relationship makes achieving sustainability –a critical criterion in any long-term development strategy – an even more difficult target.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesswater-energy nexusEurasiaBook Chapter117
