Tech/Engineering - Energy / Power Generation
English term or phrase: Energy's water
Some 13 percent of the world’s population, over 800 million people, do not have enough food to live healthy and productive lives. Providing the water needed to feed a growing population and balancing this with all the other demands on water, is one of the great challenges of this century. Providing water for environmental flows and industry will tax water resources even more. Extending water services to the 1.1 billion unserved with improved water supply and the 2.6 billion lacking improved sanitation, will enlarge the challenge even further.
***Energy’s water needs ****also need to be recognized: whereas some 90 percent of the urban world has access to improved supplies, only 37 percent has access to energy.

Veamos la frase completa:
Energy’s water needs also need to be recognized: whereas some 90 percent of the urban world has access to improved supplies, only 37 percent has access to energy = las necesidades de agua por parte del sector energético también requieren ser reconocidas: mientras un 90% de la población urbana mundial tiene acceso a suministros mejorados, sólo 37% tiene acceso a la energía.

Me puedo imaginar el contexto total del siguiente modo: "si ya de por sí es un gran problema la falta de agua potable, tanto mayor es el problema si se tiene en cuenta que, para generar toda la electricidad que necesita la humanidad, la cantidad de agua necesaria para generar energía hidroeléctrica es infinitamente mayor, agravando terriblemente la problemática inicialmente planteada..."
