Energy Connections

Saving of water also saves the precious energy. This can be understood by the fact that 6.5% of the energy used in California is for treating and pumping water – in fact, pumping of water in the south and uphill in the State Water Project of California accounts for 2% to 3% of all the electricity used here. For personal energy bill, using of less hot water saves energy on heating of water. And on the flip, saving energy and using alternative sources of energy saves water, for electricity production from fossil fuels and nuclear energy is responsible for 39% of all freshwater withdrawals in the nation.
