In this book review, Mr Andreas Lindström looks into the book “Water and Energy: Threats and Opportunities” by Prof Gustaf Olsson. The linkages between water and energy has quickly risen to the forefront of international attention as emerging limitations to both adequate water supplies and conventional energy sources are becoming more evident. This book can be considered one milestone in mapping this not yet well explored relationship.
