摘要: Water is needed to generate energy. Energy required deliver, clean, and evaporate water. There are extensive linkages between water Meanwhile, both resources may limit the other, especially in context of urbanization industrialization as well climate change. Due large population fast-growing economy, China one most energy shortage countries world. Relations particularly strained. Unfortunately, up now, little attention has been paid tension relation China. Studying nexus can provide more information than investigating them separately because their concomitant relationship. In this paper, we reviewed recent situations on these issues China, mainly focused following topics: 1) consumption industry; 2) industry urban; 3) agriculture; 4) by evapotranspiration its cooling effect reducing urban temperature. Extensive data analyzed reported study, which will be useful for policy making taking account change, urbanization, growth.
