Drinking Water
Drinking or potable water refers to water that has been treated for human consumption and is safe for use without adverse health implications. Drinking water is critical to the energy-water-food nexus through the energy demands associated with its pumping, treatment and distribution and its applications in agriculture, energy production, industry and the built environment.
