The researchers conducted two separate studies in two different geographical locations, one in India and the other in Thailand, to demonstrate the impacts of water scarcity on long-term energy supplies up until 2050. Their findings reveal a potential conflict between the users of two resources (energy and water) and the subsequent negative impact on the overall development of these regions. This study further corroborates the need for early action in terms of water and energy conservation and an adoption of an integrated planning approach where both of these resources can be considered together. This study also indicates further research which includes agricultural issues along with water and energy to provide a comprehensive assessment of water, food, energy and climate together.
